Intel Shares Internal Security Fix Benchmarks Results for Desktop & Laptop

Intel Shares Internal Security Fix Benchmarks Results for Desktop & Laptop

Intel has released a set of desktop and laptop benchmark results with all Windows security patches in place and the firmware up-to-snuff. They compare mobile (Kaby Lake) and Desktop CPUs (Coffee lake, Kaby and Sky lake).

The metrics are a bit all over the place, however as it seems their findings match up to ours, overall in Sky Diver (which is more CPU dependent), there's minimal performance loss that easily could be seen as an anomaly (~1 or 2%) otherwise.  

When the workload changes to really heavy with say PCMark 10 / Sysymark, here on the desktop platforms you are looking at a 4% differential overall with an exception here and there. And in the massive stressed synthetic benchmark, Sysmark, the worst it got was 10% perf loss. The WebXPRT browsing benchmark does take a hit, here again, that is a heavy synthetic test with multiple workloads including DNA sequencing, not your normal browsing experience. Have a peek for yourself and load up the screengrab below. 

The data sets do not include any server-side or storage benchmarks, where the biggest hit is to be found. Neither did Intel share numbers for the Haswell and older generations CPUs/Platforms. Intel did test the results with an SSD which would have an effect om Sysmark and PCMark alright, specs of the test setups are listed below the test-results.

Basically 1-2% difference in most cases, with some very heavy cases hitting around 4% difference in performance. Though general users would be hard pressed to see these differences, these would effect massive content creators/ servers and maybe even software programmers the most. Though as the table says these results are in a +/- of 3% meaning take them with a grain of salt as tests are never 100% accurate and go up and down all the time.

Personally I've not seen or noticed anything of difference if there has been a 1/2 fps drops in games i would never personally notice something like that, Though CPU usage and temps seem about the same as before the patches and CPU-Z seems to give me similar results

Single thread - 547
Muti Thread - 4106.2
(not overclocked)

Using newest version of CPU-z

They didn't test old machines, as i have noticed plenty of people here on forum have "old" 2000 or 3000 series cpu's.

Edit: That is one of more interesting stuff to test and that is the thing Intel is in unique position to test, of course i am not forgetting that they didn't post results for even older systems, and god knows there are plenty of Core2 CPU's in use

According to MS the Haswell and older chips got hit harder so this doesn't apply to a lot of us even if Intel didn't twist the numbers.
