Cinebench R11.5
CINEBENCH is a real-world cross platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s performance capabilities. CINEBENCH is based on MAXON’s award-winning animation software CINEMA 4D, which is used extensively by studios and production houses worldwide for 3D content creation. MAXON software has been used in blockbuster movies such as Spider-Man, Star Wars, The Chronicles of Narnia and many more. CINEBENCH is the perfect tool to compare CPU and graphics performance across various systems and platforms (Windows and Mac OS X). And best of all: It’s completely free.
Kicking things off with Cinebench, the lack of phases powering the CPU does seem that have a direct effect on the performance available with one of the lowest scores that I’ve recorded for Z77. Overclocking naturally does raise the performance, but again this is still limited by the power delivery, pitting it only mid-way through the chart.
Super PI
Super PI is a computer program that calculates pi to a specified number of digits after the decimal point—up to a maximum of 32 million. It uses Gauss–Legendre algorithm and is a Windows port of the program used by Yasumasa Kanada in 1995 to compute pi to 232 digits.
As I’ve mentioned before, SuperPI is more focussed upon the chip itself with very little influence given by the board and consequently we find a stock time that sits right in the midst of the Z77 results.
