| PC Status | Overall this PC is performing below expectations (40th percentile). This means that out of 100 PCs with exactly the same components, 60 performed better. The overall PC percentile is the average of each of its individual components. Use the charts in the benchmark sections of this report to identify problem areas. |
| Processor | With a good single core score, this CPU can easily handle the majority of general computing tasks. Despite its good single core score this processor isn't appropriate for workstation use due to its relatively weak multi-core performance. Finally, with a gaming score of 56.8%, this CPU's suitability for 3D gaming is average. |
| Graphics | 3.34% is too low to play 3D games or use CAD packages. (Note: general computing tasks don't require 3D graphics) |
| Boot Drive | 34.8% is low SSD score. With a better SSD this system will boot faster, make applications more responsive and reduce IO wait times. |
| Memory | 8GB is enough RAM to run any version of Windows and it's sufficient for the vast majority of games. 8GB is also enough for moderate file and system caches which result in a very responsive system. |
| OS Version | Although Windows 10 is not the most recent version of Windows, it remains a great option. |
