CPU tests
We begin the performance analysis presenting all tests that put stress on the processor, which we remind you to be an Intel i7-3960X with Sandy Bridge-E architecture, with 6 cores and Hyper-Threading Technology. This allows the OS to take advantage of as many as 12 concurrent threads.
3DMark Vantage: CPU test
Produced by Futuremark, 3Dmark Vantage is a useful tool to test the performance of your system. Primarily designed to track the performance of the graphics card, the 3DMark Vantage is suited for testing of the CPU that are increasingly a bottleneck in the system when it comes to graphics applications. The test was carried out only in relation to the CPU, disabling the 2 steps related only to vga.
In 3D Mark Vantage, performance primacy is of the proposed new Intel Sandy Bridge-E. This new processor sharply separates from the excellent Sandy Bridge architecture that is currently seen the i7-2700K as a top range model. The separation is also against the previous Intel architecture with 6 core, the i7-980X, which has lower performance compared to this new proposal.
At a clock to clock comparison performed at 4 GHz, is best seen as the improvement compared to the i7-980X CPU is evident.
