Cinebench R20：CPU 339，CPU Single 482
Compared to the previous 8th Gen i3-8130U processor, the performance improvement for i3-1005G1 is significant. It manages to reach double score both in the case of a single and multiple core tests.
AS SSD Benchmark
And finally some disk tests. CoreBox Pro uses a 256GB NVMe SSD this time, making it much faster than the SATA SSD option. And sure enough, the final test result confirms that – Read : 1483.81MB/s, Write : 1239.62MB/s.
