PCMark 8 is the latest version in the popular series of PC benchmarking tools. Improving on previous releases, PCMark 8 includes battery life measurement tools and new tests using popular applications from Adobe and Microsoft. Whether you are looking for long battery life, or maximum power, PCMark 8 helps you find the devices that offer the perfect combination of efficiency and performance for your needs.
Starting with Futuremark's all-round test, PCMark 8, the 4960X manages to take second place, bested only by the Haswell 4770K. The 4770K's advanced architecture gives it a 1.9% performance lead over the IVB-E part.
The IVB-E 4960X does manage to beat its other 6 core, 12 thread competitor (SB-E's 3930K) by just over 5%.
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”?
