Windows 10: 7-Zip

If I delete the 7-Zip file, will that cause more space usage due to lack of compression?

7 Zip or WinRAR?

The only thing that I don't like about 7-Zip is its Windows 95-vintage graphics. Fortunately, there's a solution for that: 7-Zip Theme Manager.

• Toolbar themes - change the look of the toolbar in 7-Zip.
• Filetype themes - change the Windows icons for archive files.
• 90 toolbar themes and 22 filetype themes to choose from.
• Changing the SFX-icon (self-extracting archive) is now possible.

Be sure to grab the 2.1.1. Hotfix to mod any version of 7-Zip from 9.23 to the present release (15.12 as of the time of this post).

 

7-zip benchmark compilation

Figured with someone benchmarks floating around this one would be interesting since quite a few people actually use 7-zip. I am also stealing newteckie's format for the thread so many thanks for him actually making a good layout.

What you are going to need:

7-Zip 9.30 beta: LINK

Rules:

• Put Add Me+version run as the title of your post.
• Include a screenshot of CPU-z (CPU and Memory tabs) and the 7-zip window with your results (all in the same screen shot).
• Only 7-zip version 9.30 beta will be counted.

Instructions

• Start 7-zip
• Select tools-> benchmark
• Select Dictionary size: 192mb (>8GB RAM) or 64mb (<8GB RAM)
• Allow it to run at least 4 passes and hit stop

You will be left with that screen


Post your results in the following format:
Name | Processor Maker | CPU Model and Clock | Total Rating (CPU USAGE) | Total Rating (Rating/Usage) | Total Rating (Rating) | 64-bit or 32-bit | Notes

 

7 Zip or WinRAR?

7 zip is my choice. Winrar is not bad either but for little I use it for 7 zip does the job.
