Win10 and Win7, which one!

Win10 learned a lot of Win8 lessons, in the interface made a lot of changes, the beginning of the menu return, and the Metro Dynamic Magnetic interface also has reservations, WIN10 interface has desktop mode and flat mode two, can give two kinds of equipment to provide a better user experience.

Test platform and description

Users who now use Windows 8.1 systems believe that most of them will choose to upgrade to Windows 10, while the majority of those who are struggling to upgrade are Windows 7 users, and today the test is for Windows 7 users, comparing the performance differences between the two generations.

The test platform uses the Intel Xeon E3-1230v3 processor, the ASUS Z97-deluxe motherboard, the CHI sniper ddr3-1600 4gb*2 memory, the graphics card is the NVIDIA Public edition GTX 960, the system disk uses Pukot M6pro 256GB, The Windows 10 system uses the 353.54 WHQL drive that is pushed down by the System Update Center, and the Windows 7 system uses the current official online 353.30 WHQL drive.

Game performance test: Draw a tie

In the game aspect of Windows 10 this time the biggest upgrade is to support DIREXTX 12, now DX11 graphics cards are supporting DX12.

According to Microsoft, DX12 can improve the performance of the game, which means that Windows 10 performance should be better than the current Windows 7 and 8.1.

However, there is no game to support DX12, 3DMark also has only one API test to support DX12, but this test is not for you to test performance, DX12 in the end how much ascension is not yet known, today's test is only testing the existing DX11 project.

First look at the benchmark 3DMark, Firestrike Standard mode, the Windows 10 score is 6392, and the Windows 7 system score is 6308, the point of view of the Windows 10 is high, but if the ratio is actually more than 1% points.

Game test:

Game we tested the "Tomb Raider", "Subway: The Last Light" and "Biochemical Surprise: Unlimited" three and unigine Valley Benchmark, test results as shown in the above picture, Windows 10 is a number of advantages, but the gap is actually a fraction frame to a frame, Almost all can be eliminated as an error.

Browser performance comparison: Edge end abuse IE11

Another major update for Windows 10 is that the default browser has become Microsoft Edge, the historic Internet Explorer is still there, but it has been hidden in a corner of Microsoft, the new browser performance how much better, this should also be concerned about.

Microsoft Edge Browser only supports Windows 10 systems, so in this comparison, Windows 7 only continues to use Internet Explorer 11 browsers, testing HTML5 and JavaScript-related projects.

We can see the performance of Microsoft Edge Browser is so eye-catching, face IE11 is a win-win, in Octane 2.0 JavaScript benchmark this project on the Microsoft edge of the lead margin of more than 50%! The Kraken JavaScript Benchmark has an advantage over 50% of the project, and the new browser performance is quite well worth looking forward to.

Disk Performance comparison: Win10 small wins

The test disk for SSD testing is SanDisk Extreme Pro, the AHCI mode on which the motherboard opens the SATA interface, all of which are powered by Intel RST.

CDM test results under Windows 10

CDM test results under Windows 7

It is found that there is little difference in continuous read and write performance between the two systems, but the 4K random read-write performance under Windows 10 system is better than that of Windows 7, especially when the high queue depth is random read and write.

PC Basic performance test: Win10 ahead?

PCMark8

PCMark's test of Windows 10 system and Windows 7 scored a few points, reaching a score of 1000, which is mainly due to the following three multimedia file compression tests, such as "video-Go" and "Music to go", windows The 10 system takes only a few seconds to complete, while the Windows 7 system takes 36-40 seconds and the gap is quite large.

The reason has not yet been identified, has considered the reasons for OpenCL, but the Windows 7 system after the OpenCL of the test results are not changed, the PCMark itself is more likely, to see if the software for the Windows 10 system updates later.

WinRAR test

Windows 10

Windows 7

This test is mainly for CPU compression performance, you can see the Windows 10 system under the WinRAR compression capability is more excellent.

Full Text summary

After the test, we should have a general understanding of the performance of the WIN10, in the disk performance, compression performance on the WIN10 has a certain degree of improvement, but there is no qualitative leap, WIN10 brings more is the user experience changes, rather than performance on the promotion.

At present, Win10 game performance and Win7 basically no difference, although the system support DX12, but because of the lack of support for the game so now the advantages are completely not out, to wait for the game to support the latest DX12 API also need to wait.

The new Microsoft Edge Browser performance is IE11 now, and it has many features that IE does not have, such as providing extensions, Cross-platform features, support for desktops and mobile platforms, and more.

But changed the default browser on how much impact this is not easy to say Ah, I know in the article many people open IE is actually in order to download Chrome or Firefox and other browsers, so about Microsoft Edge Browser We will write another article, Look at it and now mainstream browser in the end what is different, we look forward to waiting.
