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.
PCMark 7 shows us how the system performs overall and puts our Big Bang Xpower just above the GD65 and Rampage IV Extreme peaking over the 5000 points mark.
When the clock speed is increased to 4.6GHz, we find the score being increased by just under 1000 points and breaking through the 6000 points barrier,
