CPU performance
This rating shows the maximum CPU performance resulting from the fastest processor option available for this TUXEDO on the one hand and the power consumption that the cooling system is able to dissipate on the other.
The »Central Processing Unit« is the most important component of a computer and determines the overall performance of your TUXEDO. The CPU performance results from the amount of computing cores, so-called CPU cores, and their respective clock speeds. The same processor usually runs with lower performance on thin and light notebooks than on thicker machines due to less cooling capacity.
For surfing the web, checking emails or less demaning productive work, a low-end CPU performance is fully sufficient. Some image editing or cutting video files require a performance indicator of at least 30 %.
For more demanding image and video editing, software development or playing games, we recommend a mid-tier processor (50% or better). Highly demanding tasks like 4K video editing with filters and effects, modeling 3D animations with high polycounts or high-end gaming require an upperclass CPU with at least 70% performance rating.
Rating table:
| Usage scenario | Minimum recommendation |
|---|---|
| Web & email, low productivity tasks, 1080p video streaming etc | |
| Heavy multimedia use, less demanding image and video editing, low-end PC gaming | |
| Demanding video editing, heavier software development, PC gaming | |
| 4K video editing with many effects, working with big 3D animation scenes, high-end gaming |
