Crystalmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V3.0 x64. The Patriot Wildfire SSD drive is on test today.
These are good results, although not the best we have seen from the Patriot Wildfire drive. You can see performance differences from the exact same drive when running via the ASRock Z77 OC Formula motherboard on this page.
Good performance from ATTO Disk Benchmark, scoring around 550 MB/s read and 490 MB/s read peak.
Its a decent system you built, but I agree, the Intel chips are too tempting and faster systems are available for the same price point as this.
Yeah not moving from Intel im afraid either 3570k is only a little more expensive in UK and id rather have it. Power/heat is important to me.
If they sold it for £100 and their 990FX boards were £99 also, it might be more tempting to me. im interested in the 8 core systems, but they aren’t particularly strong cores so it seems pointless.
Disappointing really. another full year and its just a little better than 8150. its clocked higher which helps, but Intel have so many options under £200 from core i3 and even 3570k
How do things look when you graph performance versus cost?
The AMD FX8350 didn’t even get KitGuru’s “Worth Considering” award. That bad?
And they even compared it to an i5…
can you tell me if this normal 38mm vs 22mm Lithography??
correction 38nm vs 22nm
