Moving on to our CPU tests, Cinebench R15 gave us an excellent score, placing 4^th with our Ryzen 7 3700X and the exact same for Cinebench R20 coming in at 4^th place. Time taken to finish rendering the BMW render in Blender was just under 165seconds and that’s also a great result. PCMark 10 shows the computer is more than capable at the tasks undertaken and scores are not that far off the other CPU’s.

Running AIDA64 memory benchmark shows a huge dip in write speed performance. We were expecting this because the system is using an 8-core Zen 2 CPU. 8 cores and below, the Zen 2 chips have roughly a single write path in the IOD. That gives them half the write speed of the 12-core and above, which have the two write paths and ‘normal' write speeds. Perfectly normal for the 8 core and lower Zen 2 chips and doesn't really affect real world performance all that much in general. So, don’t worry too much about that score there.

We put our SSD through its paces with CrystalDiskMark, which saw great read and write speeds.
