Win10/Win8.1/Win7 comprehensive performance evaluation big secret (1): startup speed

The official version of Win10 has been released for more than ten days, and quite a few users have used this new system. According to Microsoft's attitude, Win10 is better than previous Win7, Win8.1 and other systems in terms of performance and functionality. For the function of Win10, everyone has a clear vision, there is no need to say more here. But for system performance, which one is Win10, Win8.1, Win7? It’s the scorpion that the horse has to pull out and know.

The foreign media has carried out horizontal comparison running evaluation on Win10, Win8.1 and Win7 in several aspects such as startup speed, comprehensive testing, storage performance, coding ability, application performance and game performance. Before the results, we first give the desktop hardware and software environment of this evaluation:

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K (3.4GHz - 3.8GHz)

Mainboard: ASRock Asrock Z97 Extreme6< Br>

Memory: 8GB DDR3-2400 RAM

Video Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 980

Hard Disk: Yingruida Crucial MX200 1TB(SSD)

Power: Silver Xin SilverStone Essential Gold 750w

Operating System: Windows7, Windows 8.1, Windows10 Professional 64-bit (all completely pure installation)

First, boot speed

1, boot Speed ​​

The tool used to detect the boot speed is BootRacer. The time span of the measurement is the Windows startup screen (logo) until the desktop is stable. The time unit is “seconds”.

It must be said that although the gap between the three systems is only one or two seconds, Win10 is actually the slowest, using 6 seconds. The fastest is Win8.1, which takes only 4 seconds. Followed by Win7, it took 5 seconds.

2, Wake-up time from "sleep"

This test was initiated by a custom sleep shortcut. After completing the "sleep" operation, the tester recorded The time (in seconds) from the call to the full load of the desktop.

As can be seen from the figure, this result seems to be more in line with the user's perception of the operating system "evolution". Obviously, Win10 wakes up the fastest from "sleep", which takes 10 seconds; Win8.1 is the second and takes 12 seconds; Win7 is the slowest and takes 17 seconds.

3, wake up from "sleep"

The test condition is similar to the above "sleep", which is also the time from the start of wake-up to the full load of the desktop (unit: second) ). The results are similar, Win10 wakes up the fastest, takes 21 seconds; Win8.1 second, takes 23 seconds; Win7 is still "stable third", it takes 27 seconds to recover.

Some friends may have to ask, Win10 does not seem to see the "sleep" option, how to measure this speed? In fact, in some places you can still "hibernate" please come back. For example, in the “Power Options” (Control Panel & Rarr; Power Options & Rarr; Change Plan Settings & Rarr; Change Advanced Power Settings), you can put the chassis on the “Power Button and Cover & Rarr; Power Button Operation” The power button is defined as the “sleep” function. At this time, if you press the chassis power button while the power is on, it will perform the “sleep” operation.

Overall, in addition to the boot speed, Win10's "sleep" & "quo sleep" advantage is still relatively obvious, and the difference in boot speed is not Big. However, since the boot speed is the most concerned item for most users, it can be said that Win10 performed very well in this test, and it didn't make people shine.
