Aria Gladiator Sparta Haswell i5 4670K Nano Overclocked Bundle Review

Aria Gladiator Sparta i5 Nano Overclocked Bundle Review

SiSoft Sandra

We wouldn’t expect the Sparta Nano to come close to a 4.8GHz i7-4770K and of course it doesn’t. If there is one area the Aria bundle is going to fall down it’s in synthetic calculation tests. So perhaps it’s worth looking at their old i5-2500K bundle for comparison. Sure enough where the Whet/Dhry/Agg results of the i5-2500K were 63/134/92, the Sparta i5 Nano rocks in at a decent 66/150/99. A nice little boost in performance purely from the architecture shift between Haswell and Sandy Bridge. The Dhrystone results in general are excellent actually, outperforming any stock i7-4770K we’ve run.
