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.

Cinebench 11.5
Software product from Maxon that allow, through the development of three-dimensional images and content, to test the CPU performance. This release allow to test the CPU using a single core, or all the cores inside the processor.
Very similar situation seen in the previous case with the version 10 of Cinebench. But this time the software is able to exploit the new architecture really well, and makes the best scores ever recorded in both single core with a score of no less than 1.58, both in multi-threaded with a score of 10.54. The distance from the other CPU is net. In this test the new Intel i7-3960X CPU has no rivals.
The new Intel has an extraordinary computing power per core, very comparable to the model i7-2600K. Higher than the previous generation Intel for more than 20%. Is still evident that the AMD Bulldozer is lacking from this point of view, with a single core computing power of 60% less.
