3DMark
We used 3DMark‘s ‘Fire Strike’ benchmark which is designed to be used on gaming PCs. We opted for the Normal setting, NOT the Extreme mode.
PCMark v2
We used the ‘Home’ test in PCMark 8 v2 to analyse the general-usage performance of each processor configuration.
WinRAR
WinRAR’s built in benchmark and hardware test can help us outline the performance differentials between each processor configuration. We record the amount of data processed after a 30-second run.
The eight-core part continues to take benchmark leads like there's no tomorrow. Devil's Canyon's fast 4790K does however manage to put a blip on the HSW-E chip's results by outperforming it on a stock-vs-stock basis in PCMark 8.
In the same time period, the 5960X-based system was able to process 36% more data than the 4960X configuration in WinRAR. And that lead extended to 42% when both chips were overclocked.
For work that involves a large amount of archival processes, Haswell-E and its eight cores show their worth, especially when overclocked.
If it’s a ‘Must Have’, does that mean you’ll give me one for free? ; )
Good review Luke, thanks. (Although pro tip: deceptively is a better adverb than deceivingly for prose).
Yes it is a must have. Jewish NSA inside is the best chipset to follow the idiot masses. All the Intel chipsets send datas to the Israel. Jews have been watching the entire world thanks to Intel chipsets and Microsoft Operating Systems. Oh I need to add Apple products. Thaks to Apple products NSA & CIA have millions of fingerprints & identitiy details etc… I am a bit confused. As if Jews are playing games by using these agent chipsets. Not the idiot gamer masses.
You know, there are some archived articles on KG.net that you haven’t posted on yet. Better get to it ; )
Nice, it really does come into it’s own! Great review!
