- Test conditions
- BMW27 standard demo scene, CPU render backend as the chart labels it (v2.79 BMW27 CPU). Samples and output resolution are those stored in the standard scene file. The same chart prints an N150 average of 1191 s (range 1063-1374 s, n=4). The tested unit is the launch revision with 2 x 1 GbE Realtek LAN; the 16GB/500GB variant listed today is the dual-2.5GbE revision, which no review has measured
Editorial review checks the source and documentation; it does not certify the measurement or mean we tested the device ourselves.
