Intel Extreme DX58S0 motherboard The bigger chip was run OIl :he Intel Extreme DX58S0 motherboard with 4GB of DDR3 RAM. Sapphire Radeon 1950 XTX graphics card and 400 GB HDD at 7200 rpm spindle speed. A similar setup was used to run 2.66 GHz Core 2 Quad 6700 processor.
In both cases, 32 bit Windows Vista Ultimate edition was used.
1. PC Mark05:
To test the processor's performance, a set of CPU tests were chosen. The score achieved by the older Core 2 Quad was a decent 6415, but when the Core i7 920 was made to execute the same set of tests, its result was much higher. It managed to achieve a score of 9279. That's a straight 50 perq:nt better than the older CPU!
2. POV Ray:
This benchmark software checks the system per¬formance by rendering images. The score achieved in this case is the render average in PPS and the simple 'higher the better' rule applies. When attempted by the older Core 2 Quad, the result achieved was a render average of 45010 PPS in a total of 4.3 7 seconds. The new i 7920 on the other hand surpassed it by 79137 PPS in just 2 .48 seconds. Again a significant difference in performance.
3. CineBench RIO:
The new Core i7 920 performed brilliantly again as compared to the older processor. While using one CPO. the score it achieved was 3214 and when using all four, it was a massive 13205. The Core 2 Quad in the meanwhile, scored only 2163 and 6375 respectively.
