Video Transcoding Performance x264 HD 3.03 Benchmark If you're running a workload that can really stress multiple cores, the 6-core Sandy Bridge E parts will remain unstoppable but in the quad-core world, Ivy Bridge leads the pack. The gap increases slightly to 11% as we look at the multithreaded results: The single threaded Cinebench test shows a 9% performance advantage for the 3770K over the 2600K. Cinebench 11.5Ĭreated by the Cinema 4D folks we have Cinebench, a popular 3D rendering benchmark that gives us both single and multi-threaded 3D rendering results. This isn't enough to make you want to abandon your Sandy Bridge, but it's a good step forward for a tick. In another FP heavy workload we see a pretty reasonable gain for Ivy Bridge: 8.5% over a 2600K. The results reported are the rendering composite scores. To look at performance under 3dsmax we ran the SPECapc 3dsmax 8 benchmark (only the CPU rendering tests) under 3dsmax 9 SP1. Today's desktop processors are more than fast enough to do professional level 3D rendering at home. The performance advantage over the 2600K is around 9%. With the core count advantage out of the way, SNB-E steps aside and allows the 3770K to step up as the fastest CPU we've tested here. Our Photoshop test is well threaded but it doesn't peg all cores constantly. The test is multithreaded and can hit all four cores in a quad-core machine. Time is reported in seconds and the lower numbers mean better performance. The whole process is timed and thanks to the use of Intel's X25-M SSD as our test bed hard drive, performance is far more predictable than back when we used to test on mechanical disks. The test does basic photo editing there are a couple of color space conversions, many layer creations, color curve adjustment, image and canvas size adjustment, unsharp mask, and finally a gaussian blur performed on the entire image. To measure performance under Photoshop CS4 we turn to the Retouch Artists’ Speed Test. Given what we know about Ivy's enhancements, this is exactly what we'd expect.Ĭontent Creation Performance Adobe Photoshop CS4 The biggest advantages show up in either the lightly threaded tests or in the FP heavy benchmarks. The 3770K however manages to slot in above all of the other Sandy Bridge parts at between 5-20% faster than the 2600K. SYSMark 2007 is a better indication of low thread count performance, although 2012 isn't tremendously better in that regard.Īs the SYSMark suites aren't particularly thread heavy, there's little advantage to the 6-core Sandy Bridge E CPUs. Motherboard:Ĥ x 4GB G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3-1600 9-9-9-20Īlthough not the best indication of overall system performance, the SYSMark suites do give us a good idea of lighter workloads than we're used to testing. For all benchmark results and even more comparisons be sure to use our performance comparison tool: Bench. To keep the review length manageable we're presenting a subset of our results here. The shipping 3770K performs identically to what we tested last month. It turns out that our initial preview numbers were quite good.
