Sapphire Edge Mini PC Review

Testing:

ScienceMark tests real world performance instead of using synthetic benchmarks. For this test, we ran the benchmark suite and will use the overall score for comparison.

Higher is Better

Cinebench 11.5 is useful for testing your system, CPU and OpenGL capabilities using the software program CINEMA 4D. We will be using the default tests for this benchmark.

Higher is Better

HD Tune measures disk performance to make comparisons between drives or disk controllers.

Higher is Better

Lower is Better

Sciencemark starts off by affirming the fact that the Atom D510 is slightly faster that the ASUS Atom, but not quite as fast as the Celeron in the Zotac. The HD Tune results show that the 2.5 inch drive used in this low power PC compared favorably in the burst speed and CPU usage categories. But then again you are comparing a low power, lower speed design with a 7200 RPM mechanical drive. Even so, the results show that the HDD is more than capable.
