Synthetic Benchmarks: PCMark 7 & UNIGINE Heaven 2.5

PCMark 7
PCMark 7 is a tool provided by FutureMark that tests the PCs ability in general office and everyday use. It produces a number that reflects the all-round performance of the PC and is useful to compare between differing setups. For more information, visit the FutureMark website.

Not too much difference between the two systems, however it is likely the slower CPU speed that hinders the A6-3650 in PCMark 7.



UNIGINE Heaven 2.5
Unigine's benchmark is to showcase the benefits of DX 11 and the use of tessellation as opposed to normal rendering techniques. The demo has impressive visuals that give an insight into what we can expect from gaming in the future.

At 1080p this benchmark seems to be GPU dependant and we see the A6-3650 and A8-3850 on par when paired with the 6570. Scaling in CrossfireX is good too. However performance on both APUs iGPU was lacking on their own, however that is understandable considering the demanding nature of this DX11 benchmark at high resolution.
