About: 7-Zip7-Zip is an open source file compression and decompression application known for its efficiency and support for various archive formats such as .7z, ZIP, RAR, TAR, and others. Besides being available in a simple graphical interface, 7-Zip can also be run via the command line or directly through shell integration in Microsoft Windows operating systems. It is widely used by home users, professionals, and system administrators due to its high compression speed and efficient use of system resources.
In the context of benchmarking, 7-Zip's performance reflects the processor's ability to handle data compression and decompression-based workloads. This benchmark is commonly used to measure CPU performance in intensive multitasking scenarios that involve manipulating large numbers of files. As the compression and decompression processes involve complex mathematical operations and algorithms, the results of this benchmark give a true picture of the processor's performance in real-world tasks.
For this test, BenchMate was used as a benchmarking platform that provides verified and standardized testing, maintaining the integrity and consistency of the results. With BenchMate, the benchmarking process runs in a tightly controlled environment, ensuring that the resulting 7-Zip benchmark score truly reflects the system's native performance without any interference from external factors such as thermal throttling, background processes, or software manipulation.
The scores generated from the 7-Zip benchmark are usually displayed in MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second), which indicates how fast the CPU can execute instructions during the compression and decompression process. A higher score means that the CPU has better performance in handling file compression tasks, which is very useful in the context of productivity, data backup, and large archive management.
With the combination of 7-Zip and BenchMate, this benchmark becomes a reliable tool for evaluating processor performance in data-intensive compression tasks in an accurate, fair and reproducible manner.
The Intel Core i5-6300U is a dual-core, quad-thread mobile processor that belongs to Intel’s Skylake generation, released in 2015. Designed with power efficiency in mind, the i5-6300U operates at a base clock speed of 2.4 GHz and can dynamically boost up to 3.0 GHz thanks to Intel’s Turbo Boost technology. Built on a 14nm manufacturing process, this processor has a low thermal design power (TDP) of just 15 watts, making it ideal for ultrabooks and slim laptops where battery life and heat management are crucial. The chip features integrated Intel HD Graphics 520, which supports smooth 4K video playback and can handle light gaming and everyday graphical tasks, making it suitable for casual multimedia users.
In practical use, the i5-6300U offers reliable performance for common activities such as web browsing, office productivity software, video streaming, and basic photo editing. It is commonly found in business laptops like the Lenovo ThinkPad T470, equipped with 8GB DDR4 RAM and running Windows 10, providing a smooth user experience for professionals and students alike. Despite its strengths, the i5-6300U’s performance in modern multi-threaded applications and gaming falls behind newer processors due to its limited cores and older architecture. Nevertheless, it remains a solid choice for users prioritizing energy efficiency and portability over raw computing power.
Overall, the Intel Core i5-6300U continues to be a dependable processor in the used laptop market and legacy systems, delivering a good balance of performance and power consumption for everyday computing tasks, especially in ultrabook designs where efficiency is key.
