PCMark 8 v2.0 zum Download verfügbar

Bei der neuen Version v2.0.191 des PCMark 8 handelt es sich um eine "Major Update", das bedeutet, dass die ermittelten Scores im Home-, Creative- und Work-Benchmark nicht mehr vergleichbar mit den Scores der alten Version v1.2.157 oder älter vergleichbar sind.

Das Update fügt jedoch einen "Kompatibilitätsmodus" hinzu, der in der Professional und Advanced Edition vorhanden ist, so dass weiterhin auch Benchmarks im alten Modus durchgeführt werden können um vergleichbare Ergebnisse zu erhalten.
