Hey Muso, my curiosity got the best of me and I had to download the free trial of the PassMark Performance Test 10.0 from your link. I was convinced I could get a much higher score running the test on both CPUs as the single CPU info on my last post was just previous user submitted info. The results were awesome!!!! I scored 32,179.6 on CPU, 96th Percentile! WOOT! My next best specs were 2D and 3D graphics which I have to thank my EVGA GTX 1070 card.
i nearly spilt my tea.lol. NICE ! i'm gonna get me a beast lol. i hope rharv does same test to compare.
my songs....mixed for good earbuds...(fyi..my vocs on all songs..) https://soundcloud.com/alfsongs (90 songs created useing bb/rb) (lots of tips of mine in pg tips forum.)
My CPU was 13616 (he has 2 so that kinda makes sense) My graphics scores were dismal, which dragged my score down a bunch I'm sure .. but I admit I have a basic (cheap) graphic card in it. Memory was a closer match (2413 for me) He also seems to have beaten me handily in the drive tests, which is likely a testament to SSDs
FWIW I built this machine for audio/work, so graphics are of minimal concern to me
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome Make your sound your own!
No worries sir. I just wanted an overall multimedia machine since I like to render video and use flight sims in addition to music. Rendering video is the most CPU intensive thing I've found for a PC.
I should mention the Ryzen does not have any graphics capabilities, unlike most Intel and other AMD processors.. You'll need a separate card if you go that route.
I'm pretty sure my machine was a lot more wallet friendly that Steve's, choices and tradeoffs and all that. It was a huge step up from the previous W7 machine and by reusing some parts I was able to keep the cost around $550. It does what I need here. I have other machines available for Photoshop, video editing, etc. This particular test seems focused on a gaming type machine, weighing pretty heavy on graphics, which is by no means a concern with RB/BiaB/PT .. <grin>

If I remember to, I'll try this on my computers at home. I've got a 6-core i7 desktop and an 8-core dual Xeon Mac running Windows, and I'm interested in seeing what RB makes of those.
My five-year old home-built i7 is about half the PassMark CPU readings of Steve's, at 8476. I don't even have a graphics card; I use the Intel HD graphics on the CPU, so that hurts. My Disk Mark, though, with multiple SSD drives, was 21,445. Pretty fast.

Nice Matt! I just have the OS SSD of 1TB and a small music/video temp 250 GB SSD. Both of them are older drives too, hence the bad rating compared to yours.
