Sandra Cryptographic

Sandra Memory Bandwidth

Sandra's processor arithmetic test shows how increased CPU frequency can enhance the speed at which calculations are carried out.

Hashing bandwidth of the processors also scales effectively with operational frequency, so it's no surprise that the overclocked Devil's Canyon part takes the lead in the Sandra Cryptographic test.

As we have already pointed out, the 4790K still uses the underlying Haswell micro-architecture, hence memory bandwidth results show very little variation between chips.
