CPU & Memory Performance
Cinebench R15
The system’s Intel Core i5 6500 isn’t able to contend with more expensive processors due to the lack of hyperthreading and lower frequency. Despite this, the multi-threaded score is still pretty good and ample for most usage scenarios.
WPrime
Here we can see the system begins to struggle when tackling the WPrime calculation and takes a considerable amount of to finish. Clearly, this is to be expected and not a major concern for the mainstream user who rarely works with CPU intensive workloads.
AIDA64 Engineer
During the AIDA64 memory bandwidth test, the Freshtech Solutions Aerocool DS230 reported good read, write and copy rates considering the single-channel configuration. Deploying using two or more DIMMs in dual channel would have dramatically improved the performance but whether or not this translates to a higher frame-rate in games remains to be seen.
