PCMark 10 News

This update contains several quality-of-life updates to PCMark 10 and includes changes to how OpenGL is used in Writing and Spreadsheets workload. Tests featuring workloads using LibreOffice Writing and Spreadsheets may see minor (~1%) score differences.

Updated

• Benchmark workloads now run in 64-bit mode by default on ARM devices.
  

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where the information on the selected OpenCL device was sometimes missing or incorrect in benchmark results. Devices are now identified and reported based on the vendor and device name.
  
• Fixed an issue where benchmarks with LibreOffice Writing and Spreadsheets workloads would crash on devices with very high core counts.
  
• OpenGL is now disabled by default in LibreOffice Writing and Spreadsheets workloads. UI includes an option to enable OpenGL for these workloads. This has a very minor impact on scores (~1%).
