Futuremark has announced the upcoming arrival of a new benchmark, PCMark 10, which has been developed to measure the performance of equipment and hardware, especially for professional environments.

Apparently, a new version of the Futuremark PCMark is about to arrive and it is that the parent company of UL, is that a suit for the hardware benchmark will soon hit the market. Everything points to Futuremark launching the PCMark 10 Professional on June 5. On June 22, the Advanced and Basic versions will hit the market, which will allow us to measure the performance of the hardware of our equipment.

Not much is known about this benchmark and what the different versions will or will not allow to do. Futuremark has commented that it is working with several 'leading hardware and software companies', which allows us to obtain a series of benchmarks and establish the average performance of the components that are usually installed in our equipment. PCMark 10 evaluates the performance of computer configurations in real use, leaving aside the current synthetic benchmarks without more, for apparently more 'realistic' benchmarks.

Futuremark PCMark 10 has commented that it is "ideal, since they are neutral in the tests", especially for organizations that make purchases of large quantities of equipment such as governments or large companies. PCMark 10 will help IT departments to make the best possible decision about the hardware they want to buy and thus see the performance of this.

PCMark 10 will join the VRMark and 3DMark benchmark utilities, thus configuring a set of ideal tools to see how the equipment and components perform, adding in just a few weeks. According to the data, those who attend Computex in Taipei will be able to see a demonstration of this software at the company's booth, during the event, so we should have new data shortly.
