fr: peu de puissance du a une fréquence faible. mais se débrouille bien dans les taches simples. Utiliser le de présence avec un système linux car sur Windows il a un peu de male. très bon pour une utilisation d’un petit serveur sous linux. en: little power due to low frequency. but does well in simple spots. Use the presence with a linux system because on Windows it has a bit of trouble. very good for using a small linux server.

 Best User Rated
Why does UserBenchmark have a bad reputation on reddit?
Marketers operate thousands of reddit accounts. Our benchmarks expose their spiel so they attack our reputation.
Why don’t PC brands endorse UserBenchmark?
Brands make boatloads on flagships like the 4090 and 14900KS. We help users get similar real-world performance for less money.
Why don’t youtubers promote UserBenchmark?
We don't pay youtubers, so they don't praise us. Moreover, our data obstructs youtubers who promote overpriced or inferior products.
Why does UserBenchmark have negative trustpilot reviews?
The 200+ trustpilot reviews are mostly written by virgin marketing accounts. Real users don't give a monkey's about big brands.
Why is UserBenchmark the gold standard for users?
Instead of pursuing brands for sponsorship, we've spent 13 years publishing real-world data for users.
