Putting them side by side and using them for daily tasks, you may see some slightly faster performance in terms of booting windows, loading software and working with large documents for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For gaming, there is surprisingly little difference overall, ranging from 0% to 3.7%. It will depend on the game and how it takes advantage of multiple cores and threads as we can see from the Forza Horizon 4 benchmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both devices are high performance, rating the highest for PassMark and PCMark. This is due to it having the desktop CPU instead of the usual mobile based CPU. If you want a high performance office mini PC for home or work then look no further!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where to buy the X500<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That wraps up this MinisForum X500 comparison article, we hope you have found it useful.
