Intel Core i7 3820 and ASrock Extreme4-M review

Handbrake is a fantastic free program which we wanted to include to confirm findings with Media Espresso, earlier in the review. HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows.

We used the latest V 0.9.5 for testing today across all platforms. We encoded an DVD.MPG file.

The memory bandwidth reaps rewards with this specific test. The 3820 is around 7 seconds faster than the 2700k at default clocks and is only 8 seconds slower than the reference 990X EE when overclocked to 4.5ghz.

  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
