SYSMark is an application-based benchmarking suite used by many PC OEMs and enterprises to evaluate hardware deployments, as well as by us here at PC Perspective to evaluate system performance.

By using a variety of widely used applications such as  Microsoft Office and the Adobe Creative Suite, SYSMark can provide insight into the performance levels of typical user activities like Productivity, which can be difficult to quantify otherwise.

As part of the upgrade to SYSMark 2018, the applications used to test are updated as well, including Microsoft Office 2016, Google Chrome version 65, Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, Adobe Photoshop CC (2018), Cyberlink PowerDirector 15, Adobe Lightroom Classic CC, AutoIT 3.3.14.2.

SYSMark 2018 is available today from BAPCo's online store.
