Windows 10 and win8.1 performance running test results exposure

It is more difficult to make clear the performance of Windows 10 systems. Testing the new system that will be announced on July 29 is not a simple matter, because the public has no way to install the RTM version, and even worse, Microsoft hardware partners are limited by the confidentiality agreement. Words. At present, the only thing we have made is that a lot of adjustments have been made on the basis of Windows 8. With the introduction of Direct 12, Windows 10 may set off a new round of graphics revolution in the game field. In the previous test, there was no big difference between the new system and Windows 8.
To ensure the fairness of the test, the foreign media test team used two HP Spectre X360 notebooks of the same specification, using the same screen and battery, the same 8GB LPDDR3 memory, 128GB SSD storage, Intel Core i5 -5200 processor The same BIOS version, only one of them installed Windows 10 Build 10240 version, and the other installed Windows 8.1 Home Edition. The test project includes file compression, performance runs, 3D rendering, and a series of DX9 and DX11 runs. The test software includes PCMark 8, WinRar, CineBench, Valve & rsquo;s old Particle Test, 7Zip, Passmark and 3DMark.

The test results show that the performance difference between Windows 8.1 Home Edition and Windows 10 Build 10240 system is not very large.

So what about game performance?
Microsoft has made more promises in the Windows 10 game space. Significant improvements can be seen in games that support DirectX 12; however, in games that don't use DX12, the performance differences between the two are also very close.

Waiting for the future and testing, in addition to this test, many running software is to test hardware performance, not system. For example, Cinebench R15 is a pure CPU test software, although the system part has a very subtle effect.
Although from the above test results, you can see that Windows 10 is not a significant performance improvement compared to Windows 8/8.1, but please don't be pessimistic. Because in Windows 7 system, Microsoft has updated the system to call the CPU, promised to improve the performance of Intel and AMD chips, but because the performance of Windows 8.1 is good enough, Windows 10 is not very good in performance improvement. Big, and we don't forget DirectX 12, which will inject more performance power into the game world.
