To compare the benchmark, VentureBeat prepared a self-made machine with the following specifications. On the HDD, we benchmarked the Windows completely up to date by repeating Windows Update several times after cutting off the 75 GB partition for installing Windows 10 Pro (64 bit version), installing 3 browsers And that.

CPU:Intel Core i5 4440 processor (6 MB cache, 3.10 GHz)
