Intel Core i7 3820 and ASrock Extreme4-M review

V2011 is the first release of 3DStudio Max to fully support the Windows 7 operating system. This is a professional level tool that many people use for work purposes and our test will show any possible differences between board design today.

Autodesk 3ds Max Design 2011 software offers compelling new techniques to help bring designs to life by aggregating data, iterating ideas, and presenting the results.

Streamlined, more intelligent data exchange workflows and innovative new modeling and visualization tools help significantly increase designers’ creativity and productivity, enabling them to better explore, validate, and communicate the stories behind their designs.

Major new features:

  • Slate: A node based material editor.
  • Quicksilver: Hardware renderer with multithreaded rendering engine that utilizes both CPU and GPU.
  • Extended Graphite Modeling Toolset
  • 3ds Max Composite: A HDRI-capable compositor based on Autodesk Toxik.
  • Viewport Canvas toolset for 3D and 2D texture painting directly in the viewport
  • Object Painting: use 3D geometry as ‘brushes’ on other geometry
  • Character Animation Toolkit (CAT): now integrated as part of the base package
  • Autodesk Material Library: Over 1200 new photometrically accurate shaders
  • Additional file format support: includes native support for Sketchup, Inventor
  • FBX file linking
  • Save to Previous Release (2010)

We created a new 8200×3200 scene and recorded the time for the hardware to finalise the render.

The Quad Channel memory architecture shows benefits with this specific test, delivering a time six seconds faster than the Core i7 2700k. When overclocked to 4.5ghz, the time is reduced to 6 minutes and 22 seconds which is around 11 seconds slower than the reference clocked Core i7 990X Extreme Edition.

  1. Nice CPU, but im happy with my 2500k. hope it lasts at least another year with the games I play !

  2. Very nice indeed. I like the asrock board, most of the p67 micro atx boards sucked

  3. Interesting to see them releasing a CPU at the same price as the 2600k for the X79 platform. Wasnt expecting that.

  4. It looks like the Cyberlink MediaEspresso tests didn’t use Intel Quick Sync Video on the Intel Core i5 2500K or Core i7 2600K/2700K systems. Those processors would appear higher up the table if that was enabled and used.

  5. Well l have the asrock extreme 4 m with 16 gb trip memory with 2xssd two hard drives all in raid 0 with 6600it x2 fps battlefield 148fps 17_3820 CPU ut very fast it for sale
