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.

Blender 2.60
Blender is an open source program modeling, rigging, animation, compositing and rendering of three-dimensional images. It also has features for UV mapping, simulations of fluids, coatings, particles, and other non-linear simulations, creating applications / games 3D. It is available for various operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, along with unofficial port for BeOS, SkyOS, AmigaOS, MorphOS and Pocket PC. Blender has a robust feature set comparable in features and complexity, other popular 3D modeling programs.
The computing power of individual core is not surprising. Among the cpu in the standings in our tests, the Intel win the best position sharply outpacing the rival AMD. A sign that the IPC of these cpu is very high relative to the competition, including with regard to the new Bulldozer architecture. It is noted that in the single core the gap against the i7-980X cpu is very large.
Very special this graph, which does nothing but confirm what has already been seen for some tests in the single core. Substantially all of the Sandy Bridge architecture, including of course the i7-3960X CPU, get the same time in this test. The difference with other architectures is very strong.
