PCMark 10 is the latest version of the popular full system benchmark from UL. A standard benchmark run provides scores in three categories, which includes Essentials, Productivity, and Digital Content Creation. Wrapping up all three categories is an overall score in the end. After the synthetic tests, we can see the PCMark 10 results show the Ballistix Elite kit has the slight edge in all of the categories. Its higher operating frequency may seemingly make a difference, though there is clearly more than just memory frequency at play, as the DDR4-3000 kit provided better scores than the DDR4-3200 one. This could also display how the Zen architecture benefits from various memory speeds and latency.
