ProcessorWith an extremely low single core score, this CPU can barely handle email and light web browsing. Finally, with a gaming score of 23.9%, this CPU's suitability for 3D gaming is very poor.
Graphics5.64% is a very low 3D score (RTX 2060S = 100%). This GPU can only handle very basic 3D games but it's fine for general computing tasks.
Boot Drive51.4% is a reasonable SSD score. This drive enables fast boots and responsive applications.
