PCMark Vantage
Futuremark’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.
In the general computing category, the P55 Deluxe didn’t keep pace with the other P55 boards and seemed to lack in the music and hard drive categories. Even though these are synthetic benchmark results, we expect a product to be optimized enough to handle basic computer tasks that every-day users encounter at work or on their home PCs.
