CPU & Memory Performance
Cinebench R15
Rather surprisingly, the Stealth’s i7 6700K with a high frequency achieved 877 compared to a lower frequency identical chip which recorded 1054. This is completely bizarre and I ran the benchmark another 5 times to check for any strange software anomalies. Oddly enough, each run was within 5 points of each other and didn’t indicate any inconsistent results.
Super Pi
Similarly, the computational time in SuperPi was much lower than I expected. Once again, I ran the benchmark another 5 times which yielded virtually identical results. Perhaps, there was a strange BIOS bug or background task impacting on the CPU’s results.

The memory scores reflected my expectations for dual-channel DDR4-2666MHz and performed exceedingly well during synthetic testing. Finally consumers can utilize DDR4 memory without having to move to the expensive 2011-3 platform. Although, the end-user won’t notice a difference in raw gaming performance when compared to DDR3 memory.
