Productivity Benchmarks


In this section we will be benchmarking programs which many people use on a daily basis. WinRAR will show how well a given system’s CPU, memory and storage subsystem performance work together to compress a large folder with 2.5GB of information contained within. Meanwhile, we use DriverHeaven’s Photoshop Benchmark and CineBench to recreate a professional usage environment of photo manipulation and rendering. MediaCoder x64 is also included in order to show CPU video transcoding performance within a free, vendor agnostic and multi threaded program.






Again the V131 trades blows with the 14Z, coming out on top in areas where slightly more of its tighter timed memory can be accessed by bandwidth hungry programs like Photoshop. Unfortunately, in some other applications it falls a bit behind its mass market sibling.
