Thermal Design Power (TDP) represents the near maximum power a product can draw for a thermally significant period while running commercially available software. *1 - when used in many motherboards the i7 9700T/8700T does not have a 35W limit imposed by default, and our testing shows they are achieving their performance scores by using around 50W of power. Please bear this in mind if comparing our scores with those on the Passmark website obtained from v10. The latest version v10 has radically changed the algorithms used, meaning that you cannot make meaningful comparisons between scores obtained from v9 and v10. Performance Test conducts eight different tests and then averages the results together to determine the CPU Mark rating for a system.Īll our scores are from Performance Test v9. The Passmark scores are averages from real users running 'Performance Test' software on their systems and posting the results to the web site, enabling the comparison of the relative speeds of the different processors. They have been obtained either from our own tests or from The following lists the Passmark CPU performance scores of processors used in our products.
