Processor Arithmetic

I think it’s pretty obvious what is going to rule the roost throughout our testing, but in the Processor Arithmetic test the 2600K manages to make a good fist of things. Naturally the 980X is there or thereabouts and the older architecture and fewer cores of the i7-950 really hurt it.

Processor Multi-Media

Once into the Multi-Media test any potential smugness of the “buy a cheap 2600K” brigade is erased as the 990X is an atom bomb in a world of spears.
