The clock-per-clock comparison comes in the form of two single-threaded benchmarks that are run by each processor operating at the same frequency of 4.40GHz. Using single-threaded benchmarks allows us to take core count out of the equation and give an insight into any architectural performance differentials.
Despite its smaller amount of cache, the 4770K is able to outperform Intel's Ivy Bridge-E flagship processor by almost 4% in the single core Cinebench test. It is clear that Haswell has the greater architectural performance and not even substantially larger amounts of cache can overthrow that.
On a clock-per-clock basis, the IVB-E 4960X is just over 5% faster than the SB-E 3930K. An extra 3MB of L3 cache on the IVB-E chip is partly to thank for its improved performance, but architectural updates also assist.
The same picture is painted with Super Pi's single-threaded workload. Haswell's 4770K is around 4.8% faster than the IVB-E 4960X. The 4960X is, in turn, around 2.5% faster than the SB-E 3930K.
Epic stuff. skimmed over it before work this morning, bookmarked for a good read later today. Next on my list to place my 3930k.
Well at least it seems to overclock a bit better than Haswell. Good info on the core to core tests. 4770k is the most efficient processor on a core basis.
4960x looks like a solid processor, but I wish AMD could offer more of a challenge then Intel would be forced to drop their prices a little. it is very very expensive. Still, for the target audience of people who render etc looks like a great buy.
AMD , where are you!???
Great review, haven’t read all of it yet, but picked up some interesting info. Way out of my price range. im saving for a 4570k and a new mobo. always good reading these ultra high end reviews, just to dream !
wow a lot of work in this one. I do agree with eran earlier in the review. Intel are kick ass, but the prices are hard to swallow. 4770k for a bang to buck is much better, but same with the last generation. these 6 core CPU’s cost a small fortune.
Good work Mr Hill.
best review of this I have read today. I love INTEL!
Ah the perfect partner. Blows the heck out of the FX 9590.
Did ASUS provide a release date for the X79-Deluxe?
LqM, the Asus board will be hitting retailers in the coming days.
Asus would release more boards or just the deluxe?
I wont get the 4770k. 4820 is much better IMO
what are the boot times and boot options on the “Asus X79-Deluxe”?
