PCMark 8 Video Editing
Video Editing v2 Part 2 (Creative 3.0 test suite)
This workload uses
FFmpeg to apply video enhancement filters to a high bitrate H.264 video and then encode it to a format suitable for distribution. The FFmpeg binary used is custom built by Futuremark using a development version of the source available from the project's code repository. The test applies a deshaking filter to a source video at 3,840 x 2160 (4K UHD) before scaling down and outputting at 1,920 x 1,080 (1080p).

PCMark 8 Photo Editing V2
This workload involves making a series of adjustments to a set of photographs using
ImageMagik - an open-source image processing library to adjust brightness, contrast, saturation and gamma. When a favourable balance is found, the changes are then applied to the rest of the images in the set. TIFF files up to 67MB in size are used.

SATA and M.2 Performance
Website: CrystalDiskMark
We test the SATA and performance with a Samsung SSD 850 PRO, as this is one of the fastest SSDs we've ever tested, and it can saturate the bandwidth of SATA 6Gbps ports.
For the M.2 port, we've upgraded our old Kingston KyperX Predator SSD to Samsung's SSD 950 Pro M.2 256GB NVMe SSD, which has a claimed throughput of 2,200MB/sec read and 900MB/sec write, and also updated to a newer version of CrystalDiskMark. We'll be adding to this graph over time to include more results.
