Windows 8 features a new Explorer interface for transferring files, which provides more accurate data on transfer speeds and estimated time of completion. Transferring Multiple Large Files Together Even when comparing apples to apples, with both operating systems running Excel 2010, Windows 8 is more efficient using the CPU cycles to its benefit on simulation. Microsoft ExcelĬomparing Windows 8 armed with the new Office 2013 suite we found that it was 10% faster when running our Excel test against Windows 7 using Office 2010. Multimedia performance is said to be another of the strengths of Windows 8, and as you can see when testing with PCmark 7, it was 9% faster than its predecessor. Still, the performance was very similar on both operating systems, though the more mature Windows 7 was slightly faster. 3D Graphics PerformanceģDmark 11 is used primarily to measure 3D graphics performance – meaning graphics card drivers play a vital role here. We then tested Windows 8 using our SSD and the exact same 10 second window was repeated. However we still thought 10 seconds was too long. Windows 8 shows a marked improvement here as well. Windows 8 took 8 seconds versus the 12 seconds in windows 7. Shutdown TimeĪ similar improvement is seen when measuring shutdown time. Windows 8 took 18 seconds while windows 7 took 27 seconds. Windows 8 Starts Up faster than Windows 7. To ensure fairness, we also ensured that both versions of Windows were identically configured. For this purpose we have carried out tests such as boot up and shutdown times, file copying, browsing, gaming and similar synthetic benchmarks on two identically machines. To obtain an unbiased view, together with my colleagues we conducted a number of speed and performance tests so as to compare Windows 8 with Windows 7. I am speaking about speed and performance Therefore, we decided to take on another perspective that can be a source of bad user experience.
At this point we feel that initial reactions with regards to its usabilityand user experience where the user interface is concerned has been extensively covered.
We have heard much about the new user interface, including that it is disappointing. Almost 3 months on, Windows 8 is attracting individuals spanning over every age group. Released on the 26th of October 2012, Windows 8 was Microsoft’s response to the increase in the huge popularity of operating systems in a short period of time.
