Intel Core i3-8121U Compression Benchmarks

7-Zip comes with a bench-marking tool built inside it. The bench-marking is done through the LZMA compression and decompression. The tool checks how fast your CPU is able to process the compression and decompression instructions. The LZMA stands for the Lempel–Ziv–Markov chain Algorithm which is used for the lossless compression of the data. 7-Zip uses some dummy data and then uses the LZMA to compress/decompress it for the benchmark. The benchmark ratings are displayed in terms of MIPS (million instructions per second). One of the interesting elements on modern processors is encoding performance. This includes encryption/decryption, as well as video transcoding from one video format to another. In the encrypt/decrypt scenario, this remains pertinent to on-the-fly encryption of sensitive data - a process by which more modern devices are leaning to for software security.
