Intel Core i7 4960X EE CPU / Asus X79-Deluxe Motherboard Review

Luke Hill September 3, 2013 CPU, Featured Announcement, Motherboard

Futuremark released 3DMark Vantage, on April 28, 2008. It is a benchmark based upon DirectX 10. This is the first edition where the feature-restricted, free of charge version could not be used any number of times. 1280×1024 resolution was used with performance settings.

IVB-E's flagship part scores four-and-a-half thousand more points than the 3930K in 3DMark Vantage's CPU-only tests. This gives the 4960X an 11.7% performance lead over the six-core 3930K.

The 4960X registers a CPU-testing score that is 47.5% greater than that of the 4770K's in 3DMark Vantage. Moving from an FX-8350 to the i7 4960X would provide a performance increase of almost 94%.

    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!???

    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.

    Asus would release more boards or just the deluxe?

    I wont get the 4770k. 4820 is much better IMO
