What Do All These Numbers Mean?

If you don't have a lot of computer knowledge interpreting the results can be confusing. There are however a few simple concepts that can help you.

• The bigger the number the faster the computer.
• The results are not a percentage figure. They are relative figures.
• A computer with a CPU result of 4000 can process roughly twice as much data as a computer with a result of 2000.
• The overall Passmark Rating is not an average or a sum of the sub scores. This rating is limited by the weakest component in the system. So even if you had an extremely really fast CPU but only average memory and HDD then your overall score would still only be average.
