PCMark 7
PCMark 7 provides a set of 7 suites for measuring different aspects of PC performance with a high degree of accuracy. Overall system performance is measured by the PCMark Suite. The Lightweight Suite measures the capabilities of entry level systems and mobility platforms unable to run the full PCMark suite. Common use performance is measured by the Entertainment, Creativity and Productivity scenario suites. Component performance is measured by the Computation and Storage hardware suites. The Storage suite is ideal for testing SSDs and external hard drives in addition to the system drive.
Overall system performance within PCMark7 showed the ECS board being beaten only by the Gigabyte UP4 board by 23 points, so still a good performer in our books. When we pushed our APU processor to 4.4GHz, we see the score raised by over 300 points.
