First benchmarks of the intel i7
Table of contents:
A while back we were commenting on the new i7-6950X processor, Intel's first 10-core 20-thread processor, which automatically made it the fastest processor Intel has ever released to the home market. At that time we knew that it was going to be launched during this quarter and also its price, but something important was missing, the performance.
In the last few hours, the first benchmarks, performance tests, of the Intel i7-6950X processor have been revealed for the first time, comparing it with the previous most powerful Intel processor in the Haswell-E family, the Intel i7-5960X.
Recall that the Intel chip is based on the new Intel Broadwell-E architecture, which for the first time is manufactured at 14nm. The normal working frequency of the i7-6950X is 3.5GHz but in tests it has been raised to 4.5GHz, 25MB of L3 cache, a memory controller with DDR4 support and Thunderbolt 3 technology compatibility.
i7-6950X vs i7-5960X: Duel of the Titans
The comparison between the two processors of the Intel family was published on the site overclock.net and the team had an ASUS Rampage Extreme V board, 16GB of quad-channel DDR4 memory and a GTX 750 Ti graphics.
The first test was with the popular Cinebench running both at 4.0GHz, the result of the i7-6950X was 1, 904 points compared to 1, 592 points of the i7-5960X This means that the new i7-6950X was 19.5% faster than its younger brother.
We recommend reading our review of the i7-5960X and also its performance against the 6700k and 5820K in games.
In the second test on memory reading with the AIDA64 software, it yielded stronger data and the Intel i7-6950X was 37% higher than the i7-5960X. Keep in mind that the i7-6950X starts with the advantage of the two extra cores, and from what can be seen, the difference is noticeable in the synthetic tests. It is a pity that they have not done tests with 3D applications or a video game, they would have been even more interesting data.
i7-6950X Versus the i7-5960X: Results
With these results on the table, it is clear which will be the most powerful processor on the market as soon as it goes on sale in the coming weeks at a price of around $ 1, 000.
