So here goes the typing:
Passmark rating: for my HP Z420: 5255.1
CPU 12427.0
2d graphics 716.1
3d graphics 10105.9
Memory 2687.2
Disc 10293.9
Nice and what CPU and GPU are you using ?
The config is as follows:
CPU: E5-1650v1
GPU: GTX 1070
Memory: 64GB ECC Registered (rated at 1866Mhz but running at 1600hz due to v1 processor)
Disc: Samsung 950 Pro NVMe 256GB + WD Blue 1TB HDD
There is still some room for improvement by going to a Xeon v2 processor, which this particular machine / board will support. This would give improved CPU IPC, potential clock speed / cores / threads increase and ability to utilise the 1866mhz memory.
At this moment in time however the v2 processors which I would be interested in rarely come up for sale or are pretty expensive. These are the 1660v2, 1680v2 and 2687W v2.
My usage of this workstation is proabably different to most users here since its a general home PC which I also use for gaming. Therefore single core performance and clock speed are from my perspective more important than core / thread count.
