Tom's Hardware announced Bench 2.0, a revamped benchmarking tool for Premium subscribers, effective immediately.
The new version replaces the previous single‑list interface with a hierarchical organization that lets users filter tests by category such as gaming, synthetic, or specific applications.
Product pages now include specifications, benchmark results, and pricing information. A Bang for the Buck visualization plots performance against cost, and users can interact with bar and chart graphics by hovering or selecting data points for comparison.
The My Rig section allows users to flag owned products, mark status as in use or in storage, and create a watch list of desired items. Share Results provides options to download charts as images or embed interactive widgets.
Settings offer light and dark modes, sound controls, and a preview of planned Version 3 features, including prebuilt gaming PC test results and a built‑in Doom game.
Bench 2.0 is available exclusively to Tom's Hardware Premium members.
