The webcam's resolution is only old-school 720p, however, which is disappointing in a premium product. With videoconferencing more important than ever, we've seen many high-end and even some midrange laptops step up to 1080p or even higher-resolution cameras, such as the 5-megapixel unit of the HP Spectre x360 13.5. The difference in clarity is usually quite drastic.
Three other benchmarks focus on the CPU, using all available cores and threads, to rate a PC's suitability for processor-intensive workloads. Maxon's Cinebench R23 uses that company's Cinema 4D engine to render a complex scene, while Primate Labs' Geekbench 5.4 Pro simulates popular apps ranging from PDF rendering and speech recognition to machine learning. Finally, we use the open-source video transcoder HandBrake 1.4 to convert a 12-minute video clip from 4K to 1080p resolution (lower times are better).

The whole first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG) was reconstructed for the Blu-ray set using the original 35mm negatives that were newly scanned with 1080p HDTV resolution. Only "We'll Always Have Paris" includes a tiny amount (2 seconds) of upconverted footage according to the disc menu. Since I browsed quickly through much of the episode, I didn't spot it. 2ff7e9595c
