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

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

The Matroska Media container is a very popular, open standard multimedia container which is usually found as .MKV files. It is a very popular format in enthusiast circles and can be played directly in VLC or Windows Media Player with suitable codecs installed.

We played our 1080P MKV rip of The Dark Knight using the latest version of VLC Media Player.

MKV Playback

Playback of Full-HD MKV is a simple task for all of the processors on test today. With a rounded-down result of 3% CPU utilisation, the 4960X has the easiest time decoding the high-definition movie.

    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
