Compatibility

Information on Cadre i7-7600U compatibility with other estimator components and devices: motherboard (look for socket type), power supply unit (look for power consumption) etc. Useful when planning a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing i. Annotation that power consumption of some processors can well exceed their nominal TDP, fifty-fifty without overclocking. Some tin can even double their alleged thermals given that the motherboard allows to tune the CPU power parameters.

Passmark

Passmark CPU Mark is a widespread benchmark, consisting of 8 different types of workload, including integer and floating betoken math, extended instructions, pinch, encryption and physics calculation. At that place is also one split up single-threaded scenario measuring single-cadre functioning.

Benchmark coverage: 68%

Cinebench 10 32-bit single-core

Cinebench R10 is an aboriginal ray tracing benchmark for processors past Maxon, authors of Cinema 4D. Its single core version uses merely one CPU thread to render a futuristic looking motorbike.

Criterion coverage: xx%

Cinebench 10 32-flake multi-core

Cinebench Release ten Multi Core is a variant of Cinebench R10 using all the processor threads. Possible number of threads is express by sixteen in this version.

Criterion coverage: 19%

Benchmark coverage: 13%

Cinebench 11.5 64-flake single-core

Cinebench R11.5 is an old benchmark past Maxon, authors of Cinema 4D. It was superseded by later versions of Cinebench, which use more mod variants of Picture palace 4D engine. The Single Cadre version loads a single thread with ray tracing to render a glossy room full of crystal spheres and low-cal sources.

Criterion coverage: 13%

Cinebench fifteen 64-bit single-cadre

Cinebench R15 (continuing for Release 15) is a benchmark made by Maxon, authors of Movie theater 4D. It was superseded by later versions of Cinebench, which employ more than modernistic variants of Cinema 4D engine. The Unmarried Core version (sometimes called Single-Thread) only uses a unmarried processor thread to return a room full of reflective spheres and light sources.

Benchmark coverage: thirteen%

TrueCrypt AES

TrueCrypt is a discontinued piece of software that was widely used for on-the-fly-encryption of disk partitions, now superseded by VeraCrypt. Information technology contains several embedded performance tests, 1 of them being TrueCrypt AES, which measures data encryption speed using AES algorithm. Upshot is encryption speed in gigabytes per second.

Criterion coverage: 13%

WinRAR 4.0

WinRAR 4.0 is an outdated version of a popular file archiver. It contains an internal speed examination, using 'Best' setting of RAR compression on big chunks of randomly generated information. Its results are measured in kilobytes per second.

Benchmark coverage: 12%

x264 encoding laissez passer 2

x264 Pass 2 is a slower variant of x264 video pinch that produces a variable bit charge per unit output file, which results in amend quality since the college chip rate is used when information technology is needed more. Benchmark event is still measured in frames per 2d.

Benchmark coverage: 12%

x264 encoding laissez passer ane

x264 version 4.0 is a video encoding benchmark uses MPEG 4 x264 compression method to compress a sample Hard disk (720p) video. Pass 1 is a faster variant that produces a constant chip charge per unit output file. Its consequence is measured in frames per 2d, which means how many frames of the source video file were encoded per second.

Benchmark coverage: 12%
