PCMark 7 Delayed – Your PC Is Thankful

PC’s around the word were cowering in fear as the release of PCMark 7 drew near.  Luckily for your feeble gaming machine, doomsday has been postponed… for now.

Futuremark has announced that

Our benchmarks are developed in cooperation with many of the world’s leading hardware and technology manufacturing companies including AMD, Compal, Dell, Hitachi, HP, Intel, NVIDIA, Samsung, Sandisk, Seagate and Western Digital. These companies help us perfect our benchmarks, running each development build through their expert testing facilities to improve the performance, relevance and accuracy of the software. This testing has identified an issue that we would like to fix before release. Fortunately, it looks like a simple matter, but making any changes to the software at this point also necessitates a further round of testing with our industry partners which takes time.

So, we’ll let you know when it’s coming, but your PC can rest easy… for now.
