It is not an easy job to come up with fair tests for a processor. After all, you can’t run a CPU without a lot of other hardware and all that hardware will affect the results. Still, I’ve tried to dig out as many tests as possible which show what the processor is capable. Hopefully, it will show us where the strengths and weaknesses are located.
The operating system used will be Windows Server 2012 R2 which is the same that we used with previous server motherboard reviews. It should also be noted that we’re only using a dedicated GPU for monitor out. By eliminating the high-performance graphics card, we are able to compare the pure performance.
Having the CPU calculate is an easy way to show how well it does. The quicker the test is performed, the better the performance. For these tests, I’ve picked Super Pi and wPrime. Both are applications familiar to most and the results are easily comparable.
Suites are popular too as they offer up a whole lot of results with very little effort. We’ll be using AIDA64, GeekBench4, and PerformanceTest 8 here.
Rendering tests are mostly for handled by your graphics card, but not solely. While these aren’t exactly intended areas of operation, they do offer us comparable figures between our reviews. We’ll be using HandBrake for H.265 conversion of 4K video as well as Cinebench 11.5 and 15 here.
SiSoftware’s Sandra is technically a benchmark suite too, but it offers a lot more details. It tests more and different things, so it deserves its own category. SpecWPC is also a whole set of tests and an industry standard. The results are directly comparable with other reviews which makes it great. Most professionals won’t look at anything else.
Memory is another thing which is affected by a processors capabilities and performance. For that reason, I’ve chosen to include those test results too.
It should be noted that some charts don’t make a whole lot of sense right now. Some tests are run for the first time and as such don’t have any comparable values. As we test more of the new processors, we’ll get more results and will update the charts.
