I’ll now compare the MS-R1’s performance with some Intel machines.
$ phoronix-test-suite benchmark smallpt
Smallpt is a C++ global illumination renderer written in less than 100 lines of code. Global illumination is done via unbiased Monte Carlo path tracing and there is multi-threading support via the OpenMP library.
With this benchmark, a shorter time indicates better performance. The MS-R1 runs the 10th generation Intel machine very close.
$ phoronix-test-suite benchmark compress-pbzip2
This test measures the time needed to compress a file (a .tar package of the Linux kernel source code) using BZIP2 compression.
Again a shorter time indicates better performance.
The MS-R1 is even closer to the 10th generation Intel machine in this benchmark.
$ phoronix-test-suite benchmark coremark
Coremark is a benchmark that measures the performance of central processing units (CPU) used in embedded systems.
Let’s move on to RAM and graphics performance.
