Benchmarks (Part 1)
I’ll let the numbers and scores do all the talking …
PCMark 10
PCMark 10 is the latest in our series of industry standard PC benchmarks. Updated for Windows 10 with new and improved workloads, PCMark 10 is also faster and easier to use. PCMark 10 features a comprehensive set of tests that cover the wide variety of tasks performed in the modern workplace. With express, extended, and custom run options to suit your needs, PCMark 10 is the complete PC benchmark for the modern office and an ideal choice for organizations that buy PCs in high volumes.
UL Procyon Video Editing Benchmark
The UL Procyon Video Editing Benchmark uses Adobe Premiere Pro in a typical video editing workflow. Using relevant apps ensures that the benchmark score reflects the real-world performance of the whole system.
The benchmark starts by importing two video project files. The project timelines include various edits, adjustments and effects. The second project uses several GPU-accelerated effects.
Each video project is exported in Full HD encoded with H.264 and again in 4K UHD encoded with HEVC (H.265). The benchmark score is based on the time taken to export all four videos.
UL Procyon AI Computer Vision Benchmark
Windows Machine Learning (Windows ML) is an API developed by Microsoft enabling high-performance AI inferences on Windows devices. Windows ML lets app developers write standard code that guarantees highly optimized AI inference performance across different hardware such as CPUs, GPUs and AI Accelerators by handling hardware abstraction.
Microsoft Windows ML hardware acceleration is built on top of DirectML, a low-level DirectX 12 library suitable for high-performance, low-latency applications such as frameworks, games, or machine learning inferencing workloads.

Thank you for review, lack of PCI EZ release feature for GPU it’s such weak idea. They kept it for normal Taichi. And price difference is just 50$. Such waste.
I would recommend updating your testing methodology: the board boasts good audio, check the implementation and whether there’s some shielding etc. Check the chipset temperatures under load: my X670 was hitting 80-90C with 2 NVMEs copying files. Check if hybrid graphics works as intended – that’s when monitors are connected to the motherboard’s ports, not GPUs. Check wi-fi and Bluetooth range. Check the functionality USB4 ports are supposed to offer. Check coil whine and other parasitic sounds.
I mean, you didn’t even check the motherboard temperatures anywhere, just the CPU. And you well know that the pcmark and whatever other tests you did just apply to the CPU/memory. I thought this is X870 motherboard review, not the 9950x CPU review.
I encourage Winston to read the overview, all pages 1 through 9. You will find that there is very little useful information and nothing really that can’t be found on the item page on Asrock’s website. Unfortunately, this overview doesn’t offer any value.
Will do… thanks for the feedback 👍
