How we test
Details of this month’s benchmarks and tests
W e focused on everyday speed with our benchmarks, starting off with the CPU. Here, we used Geekbench 6.4 and Cinebench 2024 to test both single-core and multicore performance.
PCMark 10 is a more rounded test, as it places demands on all the core components: CPU, GPU, RAM and SSD. Anything above 10,000 suggests that the system will feel fast in the chosen task, while results of 7,000 or more indicate that the PC will cope fine.
