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.
Given the great results we saw in 3DMark11, we was expecting a similarly good result in PCMark7, but this time we find a score that dropped a little in the Z77 rankings. We did run this a couple more times to make sure this was not a false result, but this was the best that the board could achieve.
