Selecting 4K video streams from YouTube results in the CPU hitting 100% and then the stream pausing, repeatedly. The read speed of the eMMC drive isn’t terrible, even if it's not an SSD, but the write performance is worse than most conventional hard drives.įor anyone reading this review and wondering if this unit might make a suitable streaming solution, it won't. Of the other tests, the most significant is the CrystalDiskMark 8.04 score, as it shows where some of the performance bottlenecks are beyond this lacklustre processor.

That said, the number it might have generated had it run would have been small, as indicated by a score of just 439 in the less demanding Fire Strike test.Įven the Wild Life test isn’t smooth, and most phones can achieve that distinction. Sometimes it is possible to adjust VRAM in the BIOS of systems using an integrated GPU, but not on the PICO. The only test that wouldn’t eventually run from our normal selection was 3DMark Time Spy, because it complained that there was insufficient VRAM to work.

Initially, PCMark10 wouldn’t run at all until the Windows 11 Media Features Pack was installed.

What made some of these tests even more challenging was all the things Microsoft decided to leave out of the Windows 11 Pro N install, including all the code needed to drive video streams. It even makes some cheap laptops seem agile and athletic in comparison. To be brutally honest, this is one of the slowest systems this reviewer has tested in some time.

With the CPU limited to 70C, and no fan to increase in speed, once the system reaches this temperature, its only course of action to stop runaway thermals is to throttle the already slow processor.Įven if you don’t run the Pico aggressively, there is one issue with this machine that isn’t Zotac’s fault, other than they agreed to install it Windows 11 Pro N. This is the side of the machine that won’t be seeing much, if any, airflow, and the outside of the case is one big passive heatsink. Investigations inside revealed that the processor and chipset silicon is inverted and then connected to the underside of the Pico by a finely milled metal plate.

The larger 1MB random read test swings back in favor of the Supersonic while the Nobility Series N005 and DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 provide very similar results.

The HD Tune Pro random 512 bytes read test favors the ADATA Nobility Series N005 quite heavily in both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 modes.

The tables turn again when measuring write performance, as the DataTraveler provides the best results while the Patriot Supersonic completely tanks. Although the Supersonic provided the highest read result with 94MB/s, the N005 actually came second with 82MB/s while the DataTraveler was much slower at 67MB/s. We found the results to be quite different when looking at 512K performance. Whereas Kingston's product managed 65MB/s the ADATA drive fell to just 37.9MB/s. The ADATA Nobility Series N005 and Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 are considerably slower with read speeds between 80 and 90MB/s, but it's the write performance that really shows the weakness of ADATA's drive. The CrystalDiskMark sequential performance shows the Patriot Supersonic USB 3.0 to be the fastest drive by far with a read speed of 118MB/s and a write speed of 84MB/s.
