PCMark Vantage
PCMark VantageFuturemark’s newest benchmark suite, PCMark Vantage, was released earlier this year we published an initial article on the new software that looked at some CPU performance as well as providing overviews for all the individual testing suites it uses and what kind of applications they emulate. The new Vantage software takes a much more real-world user-scenario approach to testing that previous PCMark software and as such deserves more time our benchmark analysis.
If you haven’t yet done so, I would HIGHLY recommend you head over to my previous article that has a lot of detail on what these PCMark Vantage tests actually do. That will give you a better understanding of the results to aid in your potential purchasing decision.
The overall score on the Core i7-975 does see a great noticeable increase in performance, though most of it will likely be due to enhancements in our Intel X25-M 80GB SSD storage results. Either way, the i7-975 sees performance gains across the board in these real-world application tests.
