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.

Multi-threaded video encoding software with which we will transform a file (a movie) to MP4; the process includes x264 video encoding, FAAC audio encoding and muxing into final MP4 container. The time it takes for the CPU to perform this task will be taken into consideration.
In the conversion of the movie that we used for this test, the best performance in this clock to clock comparison is entitled to 6-core Intel CPUs. The time scored by the new architecture Sandy Bridge-E is slightly better than the i7-980X CPU.
