Performance Metrics - I

The ZBOX EI750 was evaluated using our standard test suite for low power desktops / industrial PCs. We revamped our benchmark suite earlier this year after the publication of the Intel D54250WYK NUC review) We reran some of the new benchmarks on the older PCs also, but some of them couldn't be run on loaner samples. Therefore, the list of PCs in each graph might not be the same.

Futuremark PCMark 8

PCMark 8 provides various usage scenarios (home, creative and work) and offers ways to benchmark both baseline (CPU-only) as well as OpenCL accelerated (CPU + GPU) performance. We  benchmarked select PCs for the OpenCL accelerated performance in all three usage scenarios.

3D Rendering - CINEBENCH R15

We have moved on from R11.5 to R15 for 3D rendering evaluation. CINEBENCH R15 provides three benchmark modes - OpenGL, single threaded and multi-threaded. Evaluation of select PCs in all three modes provided us the following results.

    Scrolls down to price...

    Eight HUNDRED frickin dollars!?!?!??!?!??!!!!

    Keeps scrolling...

    Right? You could build a fairly powerful dGPU system for that much. Not nearly as small but still...

    If the "not nearly as small" is not a big deal to you, then you shouldn't be looking at a system like this in the first place.

    noise?

    I think the model with the i5 and the nVidia mobile chip is a much better deal.

    Bingo. The EN760 (i5-4200U + GTX860M) will absolutely massacre this underpowered iGPU rig. And it's still whisper-quiet to boot.

    Dual Core vs Quad Core? If you need the cores, there is no comparison. If you are looking for just a gaming enabled HTPC, the DC is fine.

    With 4K Ultra HD on the box, I would expect to see HDMI 2.0 with support for 4K@60fps.

    DisplayPort 1.2 has no trouble outputting that. I'm more wondering why they bothered including an outdated DVI port.

    It might, but only at 2:0:0 like everything else claiming to be HDMI 2.0 these days.
