PCMark 8 v2.3.293 update released
November 27, 2014
A bug fix in this update means that scores from the Storage Consistency and Storage Adaptivity tests included in PCMark 8 Professional Edition may improve slightly on some hardware. Other benchmark scores are not affected.
Improved
- SystemInfo module updated to 4.32 for improved hardware compatibility.
 
Fixed
- Fixed an issue that could cause the Adobe After Effects test to fail.
 - Fixed an issue that prevented the Storage benchmark from running on dynamic disks, including stripes and mirrors.
 
Professional Edition only
- PDF report now includes details of the screen resolution and memory modules.
 - Fixed a data alignment issue in the Storage Consistency test that could result in read-modify-write operations when a simple write was intended. Scores from this test may improve on devices previously affected by the bug.
 - Added --custom command line option to enable the Storage Consistency test to be customized for selected use cases. See PCMark 8 Storage Consistency Customization Guide for details.
