Intel X79 Core i7 4960X Review
CineBench and POV-Ray
Published: 3rd September 2013 | Source: Intel | Price: $990 |
CineBench R11.5
OpenGL performance has increased massively thanks the extra PCI Express 3.0 lanes that are part of the Ivy Bridge-E CPU. We'd expect them to be equal as we're only running a single GPU, but there is no denying the result. CPU rendering is slightly better on the old chip at stock, but again when they are overclocked the difference is negligible.
POV-Ray
Similar to our cryptography test, POV-Ray shows why you shouldn't rely on a single benchmark. Regardless of whether we're at stock speeds or overclocked, the i7-3960X has the better performance. It's only a hairs breadth, but it's there.

oh snap!! insanely awesome review incoming....Quote
These results made me laugh, reminds me of amd going backwards in performance lol.
I only wonder why did they bother spending money to release this cpu,does the x79 provide that many benefits over 2011? other than that its waste of time money,unless people actually gonna buy this just because its new lols
Whoever gonna buy this is not going to care about little power savings at all.
Anyway awesome review as always

QuoteAfaik x79 has always utilized the LGA2011 socket.
I think redline92 is mixing his z's and x's, meaning he's prolly talking about z87 vs x79 ? Right ?Quote

Any reason why these cpus are kicking out such low temps at high voltages compared to there little brothers ??
