Shouldn't be an issue. Foreground applications do get a priority boost; I don't know if Passmark increases priority of itself, tho. Provided there isn't any background indexing occurring, i.e. letting the OS idle after install.
- NBJack 2y agoAs someone obsessing over small performance gains for his processor recently, there is definitely overhead to consider. Note by default you get things now like Teams, Copilot, the revised search indexing system, Skype, etc. Passmark in many tests will max out all cores at once; this tends to make it sensitive to 'background' processes (even small ones).
