In this second part we will analyze in detail the performance of the Intel i7-3960X with Sandy Bridge-E architecture.  Several tests will be run with various software, specific tests on the memory, CPU frequency, 3D and consumption scaling and overclocking. Very interesting are the comparison tests the Intel i7-980X.

WinRAR 4.01

Other popular compression and decompression software of data archives. Inside it there is a benchmark utility that compresses a standard file suitable for this purpose; the software will return the compression speed in KB/s. We also performed the tests by turning off core parking in the Windows 7 SP1 operating system. You can read our study of the topic at the following link:


Recall that disabling the Core Parking in Windows 7 has effect only on the CPU with HT with more than 4 logical cores and has no effect on Intel CPUs without HT and Bulldozer.

In this other compression and decompression test performed this time with WinRar, you notice that not making any changes to the Windows registry, the performance is always superior to other cpu both AMD and Intel. It can be seen also that in these conditions the gap with the CPU-8150 FX is not very high. On the contrary, once a disabled core parking of Windows, you can see how the performance gain is of absolute reference. The increase is also clearly evident in comparison of Intel i7-980X CPU that in these conditions is defeated even by Sandy Bridge CPU architecture but on socket 1155.

In this comparison, as opposed to 7-Zip, you can clearly see that the computing power of the new architecture is fully exploited. The tests with Core Parking active show that the i7-980X processor is also exceeded by the i7-2600K CPU with Sandy Bridge architecture.
