Win10/Win8.1/Win7 comprehensive performance evaluation big secret (3): application performance

operating system exists is to let many software applications have a platform to play, so the application software in the system is also a evaluation An important factor in the performance of the system. In this type of test, the tester compared the loading speed of today's mainstream software and the performance of the compression software. What is the performance of Win10?

Three, application performance

1, Office Excel 2013

The test standard for this item is software loading time (unit: second, the smaller the value) The better the performance), as can be seen from the data, Windows7 takes the least time, 5.4 seconds. Followed by Windows10, it takes 5.5 seconds to load. Windows 8.1 is the slowest and takes 5.7 seconds.

2, Firefox Firefox browser (Mozilla Kraken test)

This item is also loaded time test (unit: millisecond, the smaller the value, the better the performance), Win7 The fastest, 933 milliseconds (1000 milliseconds = 1 second), Win8.1 and Win10 are slightly slower, with 963 milliseconds and 1030 milliseconds respectively.

3, Chrome browser (Mozilla Kraken test)

In the test for Chrome browser (unit: millisecond, the smaller the value, the better the performance), Win7 The advantage is still obvious, it can be loaded in only 852 milliseconds. The following Win10 and Win8.1 require 919 milliseconds and 930 milliseconds respectively to complete the boot load.

4, Microsoft browser (Mozilla Kraken test)

The test is divided into two parts, one is the performance of IE11 browser on three platforms. The other is the load time test of the Win10 exclusive Edge browser. The result is obvious (unit: milliseconds, the smaller the value, the better the performance), Edge as a new lightweight browser, the loading speed can be compared with Firefox and Chrome tested above, and "late"; IE11 slow It's a bit exaggerated. Although Win10 looks faster than Win8.1 and Win7, it takes more than 1700 milliseconds for the three platforms to complete loading. From this point of view, IE browser really needs to retire.

5, WinRAR 5.0 compression

Comparing the CPU performance with the compression capability, from the above results (in KB/s, the higher the value, the better the performance), Win10 The performance still has no advantages at all. Whether it is single-threaded or multi-threaded, it is not as good as Win8.1 and Win7, and the advantage of Win8.1 is more obvious.

6, Adobe Photoshop CC

This test project is still loading time (unit: second), Win8.1 has the most advantages, and it takes 20.4 seconds to complete the loading. Followed by Win7, it takes 21.4 seconds. The last one is Win10, which takes 21.8 seconds to load.

7, Adobe illustrator CC

This result is more "unity", the results of the three platforms are surprisingly consistent, the loading time is 2.3 seconds, hard to divide under.

8,7-Zip

The test evaluation standard is still the higher the value, the better the performance, so Win10 is still slightly inferior to the predecessor Win7/Win8.1, performance The best is still the Win8.1 system.

In this type of test, Win10's performance is hard to say is satisfactory, except that IE11 is faster than Win7 and Win8.1, and the others are not as good as the two "predecessors" system. The applications listed in this article are basically old friends of many users. The usage rate is very high, and the performance of Win10 can be said to be insufficient for us to have the desire to upgrade. Therefore, Microsoft will continue to optimize the performance of this aspect of Win10 in the future, otherwise how can it reflect the optimization of the application performance of the new operating system?
