Processing Power (CPU)

Comparison of PassMark benchmarks. The Pentium Gold 8505 (Plus) offers significantly higher single-thread performance, crucial for snappy UI and VM responsiveness.

*Scores based on average PassMark data. Higher is better.

Network Potential

Theoretical maximum transfer speeds. The 10GbE port on the Plus model is a massive leap over the 2.5GbE ports, provided you have the network infrastructure.

*Values in Megabytes per Second (MB/s).
