The first thing that strikes you when switching this PC on is its sheer speed. I describe the Cyberpower Infinity opposite as fast in daily use, but the 8-core and 16-thread AMD Ryzen 7700 CPU in the Ultima WS Pro is an absolute beast. It was around 15% faster than the Cyberpower’s Core i3-13100F in the single-core portion of Geekbench 5, scoring 2,015 versus 1,754, but that was as nothing to its performance in the multicore section: here it returned 13,214, roughly twice the speed of its more expensive rival. If the tasks you tackle benefit from many threads, you know which one to choose.
Why, you might ask, do the two return almost identical results in PCMark 10? The answer lies in their graphics capabilities, with the Wired2Fire reliant on AMD’s integrated Radeon graphics while Cyberpower spends big on a GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card – not merely handy for games, but also for accelerating graphicsintensive apps that can exploit Nvidia’s powerful cores.
To drill into the detail, the Ultimate WS Pro scored 11,638 in the Productivity section of the PCMark 10 benchmark and a lowly 6,155 in the Digital Creation portion; the Cyberpower returned scores of 9,530 and 9,385 respectively.
