… DirectStorage benchmarks show the amount of data transferred in GB/s. Image: PCgameshardware.de With those caveats out of the way, the new benchmarks show the wide gulf in transfer speeds between SATA and PCIe drives. …
… The benchmarks show the M1 system is twice as fast in read speeds compared with the M2. In CrystalDiskMark, the M1 hit 6887MB/s, compared with 3462MB/s on the M2. For a 22GB file transfer test, the M2 system was 56 seconds slower than its M1 predecessor. …
… Clock speeds are still to be determined, but it's likely to be close to the 9950X3D if it can perform as well as it does. We'll need to wait for third-party tests to confirm its performance, especially since Passmark isn't equivalent to many real-world workloads. …
… Intel has an edge in top clock speed and in total core count, but it's also asking double Threadripper's price. We've previously covered the Core i9-7900X, the X299 platform, and Threadripper itself, so we're going to dive straight into test results here. …
… If set to "Auto," the 9900KS is very nearly the same speed as the 9900K, according to our testing. …
… Ice Lake Benchmarks Paint a Complex Picture for Intel’s Latest CPU Intel Reveals Clock Speeds, GPU Specs for 10nm Ice Lake Mobile SoCs
… Run times and measured clock speeds are shown below: Power consumption is listed as "about" the same, which doesn't tell us a great deal at this stage given that the VISC cores are in prototype. Overall performance, however, is excellent for the clock speed. …
… Surprisingly, with the relatively-simple benchmarks I ran using IOMeter and DiskMark, the SSD cache just got in the way. I suspect that is because the 8GB of system RAM provided sufficient cache for my testing. …
… Increasing the integrated memory controller's speed to 2200MHz, up from 1800MHz, had virtually no impact on our gaming tests. …
… Price and Availability Seagate has been shipping some of the Exos drives to some of its enterprise customers for several months, to ensure that they can pass muster running vendor qualification tests and performance benchmarks including sg3 utils and smartmontools. …
