All apologies for the delay between updates (two months!), partially because of the Holidays, partially because I am un-optimized and inefficient at multi-tasking 🙂 This was requested by multiple people, so here it is, screenshots after running the CPU-Z software, version 1.74.0 x64. The following are screenshots of various sub-tabs from CPU-Z.
We start with the CPU, as expected, this is a Skylake i5-6400, with 4 cores and 4 threads. Right after that is a screenshot of the “Caches” tab.
Next up we have the Mainboard tab, and the desktop’s goofy name of “M32CD” is there.
Eight gigabytes of DDR3 Memory is what was promised, and sure enough, that’s what it finds:
No alarms and no surprises, it is indeed the Intel HD 530 Graphics with shared memory…
And now some benchmarking fun, this is scoring a 1644 in Single Thread and 6109 in Multi-Thread. I compared it with the i7-6700K which has more threads and faster clock speed. If you need any other comparisons, please let me know and I’ll screenshot them right below this one.
If you want to see data from other software or benchmarks on this PC, please let me know! I do not own any benchmarking software at the moment, so freeware and open-source are best. I still haven’t opened it. I am using it as a main production PC and I haven’t opened a PC in quite a few years, I am rusty 🙂
THIS REVIEW So Far
Can the ram be upgraded?
Hi Greg,
from what I recall (I still haven’t opened it), there is an empty slot, so you can add another 8GB for a total of 16GB. It comes with 8GB. The one I have is now the older DDR3 version. The available model on sale now is a DDR4 model.
There is some discussion about what kind of RAM would be compatible for it in the Amazon Questions and Answers sections, but some of those discussions may be for the DDR3 model, not the new DDR4.
I’d like to see a benchmark test ddr3 vs the newer ddr4 Thanks – Dan
Hi Dan,
That is a great idea, unfortunately I only have the DDR3 model. If I find anyone with a DDR4 model I will ask them to run the test so we can compare the results. If it was a $10 item I could buy it so we can compare, but I can’t buy a new PC just for testing purposes. 🙁
