Slow laptop Dell Latitude 5510
For benchmarking, consider tools like Cinebench R23, 3DMark, or AIDA64. Set up with stable drivers and a quiet environment. For CPU, expect scores around 90-95 for i5-10210U under load. RAM performance should be near 100% utilization, aiming for sustained speeds above 6.0Gbps. SSD will show quick read/write times, targeting less than 30ms for sequential reads and similar for random access.
The Cinebench R23 multicore result is 2048 while the single-core score is 811. The configuration you applied was the default settings after installation.
Have you attempted clicking on the drive in "My Computer" and executing "Optimize"? It could provide some assistance.
This appears to be the standard setting. The last update was five days ago, and performance has slowed over the past weeks or months.
Examine your signature for useful tools; however, the low write speeds suggest it may not be very helpful. Consider reinstalling Windows. Run CrystalDiskInfo and share the results as a screenshot.
SMART appears to be in good condition, which could indicate an issue with Windows. It might have been updated from Windows 10 via the Update Center, or a complete reinstall could resolve the problem.
Many Dell Latitude models have faced numerous throttling issues over the past fifteen years. Running ThrottleStop can help address these problems. https://www.techpowerup.com/download/tec...ottlestop/ This tool was designed to resolve common throttling challenges Dell has introduced. For 10th Gen processors, some laptops rely on an embedded controller that limits CPU power, leading to significant throttling and reduced performance. Enable the Log File option on ThrottleStop and capture screenshots of the FIVR and TPL windows during testing. After completing your tests, close ThrottleStop to finalize logs. For optimal speed, turn off Windows 11’s Virtualization-Based Security. An R23 score of 2048 signals severe throttling—take a ThrottleStop screenshot while Cinebench runs. View the Limit Reasons window to see the throttling cause.
It's confirmed, the update came through a Windows update from Windows 10. You're right, I'd prefer not to restart now, but it seems to be the optimal choice.
Your assumption seems accurate. The Crucial P2 3D NVMe PCIe M.2 is indeed a solid-state drive without traditional DRAM, which typically results in slower write speeds compared to conventional SSDs. These speeds are considered average for such a device.
These write speeds are limited by the HDD technology. Even without DRAM SSDs should perform significantly better. Yes, Windows updates can sometimes cause issues during installation. That's why a fresh install is usually preferable, as it avoids adding new complications on top of existing problems. Also follow the advice from @unclewebb, which should be considered.
