PCMark 8 is the latest version in Futuremark's series of popular PC benchmarking tools. It is designed to test the performance of all types of PC, from tablets to desktops. With five separate benchmark tests plus battery life testing, PCMark 8 helps you find the devices that offer the perfect combination of efficiency and performance. PCMark 8 is the complete PC benchmark for home and business.
At stock speeds the system performed well. A PC Mark 8 score of 4,453 comfortably beats the Gigabyte P35K Core i7 laptop that I recently reviewed. Overclocking increased the score to 4,584 and then 4,714 marks which isn't a massive increase – but is worth having.
If you build a Kaveri PC using the MSI A88X-G45 it will make mincemeat of day-to-day tasks such as email, web browsing and all the Microsoft Office stuff your kids have to use for homework.
Great looking board, bit costly when most seem to be £30 less, but I guess if you wanted the best for your overclocking this is the one to get. Id rather get FX though for games.
Everyone is making red and black boards now, all look the same – I wish they would all have their own styles like they did in the past. I dont even like Red and black ! (apart from my super hero costume)
Seems like they are targeting the wrong market with the board. I dont know anyone who wants a 7850 and three graphics card slots! AMD lovers go for 8350 FX with graphics cards like that.
