Passmark Software have recently announced the significant expansion of their cross-platform benchmarking with the latest releases of PerformanceTest.

For the first time this cornerstone benchmarking software is now available for Windows ARM, included with every PerformanceTest for Windows license.  All CPU, 2D, Memory and Disk Tests have been natively compiled to run on Windows ARM, partial 3D support is also available.  

PerformanceTest has also been released as free command line versions for Linux x86 64-bit, Linux ARM 32-bit, Linux ARM 64-bit and for MacOS (CPU Test Suite Only). The Android and IOS Mobile versions have also received updates, with all available versions of PerformanceTest now running the same CPU Test Suite found in V10 for Windows. 

These releases allow for directly comparable cross-platform CPU results, an apparent necessity as the number of ARM based processors such as Apple’s M1 and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon enter consumer hardware. 

The CPU mark used to compare cross-platform results is a composite average of the integer, floating point, prime, sorting, encryption, compression, single threaded, physics and SIMD test scores.  Below is a range of PassMark’s most benchmarked CPU’s, with the inclusion of recent baseline results from Qualcomm and Apple ARM based chips (in orange) for a cross-platform comparison.

Interestingly, initial baseline results for the Mac mini 9.1 show strong single threaded results, placing it in second position under Intel’s CORE i9 11900K on the Single Threaded Performance chart.

PerformanceTest Windows ARM is now included with every purchase of PassMark’s PerformanceTest for Windows license.
