Futuremark’s PCMark benchmarking suite should need no introduction; it has been a staple of PC benchmarks for the better half of a decade. It includes over 25 individual workloads designed to measure all aspects of system performance and gives individual scores in each test as well as an overall system performance score for easy system comparisons.

PCMark 7 offers a more accurate measure of performance as compared to its predecessor, PCMark Vantage. The storage scoring metrics especially were significantly re-tuned and optimized with SSDs in mind to give a more balanced disk subsystem score.

PCMark 7 Professional

With PCMark 7, the Neutron GTX performs admirably, turning in an overall score that places it directly between both SandForce drives in our graphs. One thing is clear though, and that is the LAMD controller clearly has the capability to offer a level of performance that puts it in a league with the best SSDs currently on the market.
