ZBOX-AD02-PLUS – Media PC

PCMark Vantage

PCMark Vantage scores were about what you’d expect, with an overall score of 2226. Unsurprisingly, music and storage performance came out the best, while more demanding tasks like video transcoding scored lower.

PCMark 7

PCMark 7, which takes advantage of new features in Windows 7, was somewhat less forgiving in overall scores.

Video playback tests, which utilize only the CPU, gave an average framerate of 22.5 fps. Video transcoding scores varied widely, with the best result from the second downscaling test, and the worst from the high quality transcoding test.

The 3D graphics tests all registered in the single digits for framerates, perhaps unsurprisingly.

Web browsing tests came in between 3.74 and 2.7 pages per second, depending on the number of tabs open at once. In this, at least, there were no problems.

AIDA64

AES and Hash scores were on the low side, as expected.

PhotoWorxx, which simulates heavy Photoshop use, posted a fairly poor result.

CPU Queen, which tests raw integer throughput, posted a fairly weak result of 5146.

ZLib, which measures compression speed, gave us a modest result of 30.8MB/sec.

Julia, the first of the floating point tests, gave us a fairly low result of 911.

Mandel, which tests a more complicated working set, gave us a result of 426.

SinJulia, the most complicated of the fractal sets, gave us a result of 503.

The VP8 test, which measures video encoding speed on the CPU, posted an expectedly low result of 451.

The memory read test posted a result of 3912 MB/sec, which is on the low side but expected.

The memory write test fared no better, with a result of 2807 MB/sec.

The memory copy test paints a by-now familiar picture, with throughput of 4802 MB/sec.

The memory latency test posted a result of 84.9ns, which, while not wonderful, is still quite respectable.
