Intel Core i7-950 Review
PC Mark and PassMark
Published: 13th October 2010 | Source: Intel | Price: £244.35 |
PC Mark Vantage
Before we move on to our 3D Benchmarks, it's time for the two system test suites. Firstly PC Mark Vantage from Futuremark. This comes with a selection of applications built in and is great for testing the loading capacity of your PC. Freed from the constraints of the synthetic testing the i7-950 absolutely fires into a massive lead. Overclocked it's in a different league entirely and in the gaming suite it keeps up with the overclocked i7-930.
PassMark
PassMark 7.0 performs a similar system-wide test as PC Mark, but in an entirely different way. As you can see it's much harder on the system and so our results start to echo those we saw at the beginning of our benchmarking. Pure MHz wins the day.

Just letting you know looking forward to your OC guide. Probably like the zillionth time you've heard that, take your time ill be happy whenever its done. ^^"
from the videos seems like its taken alot of work and is gonna take even more
but maybe it can accompany some sort of print out\text aswell aswell as the video, but i wouldn't really know how it would work.
good luck
