Finally, with a gaming score of 58.2%, this CPU's suitability for 3D gaming is average. |
Graphics | 2.6% is too low to play 3D games or use CAD packages. (Note: general computing tasks don't require 3D graphics) |
Boot Drive | 44.8% is a reasonable SSD score. This drive enables fast boots and responsive applications. |
Memory | 16GB is enough RAM to run any version of Windows and it's more than sufficient for nearly all games. 16GB also allows for very large file and system caches, software development and batch photo editing/processing. |
