Intel Core i7-875k and i5-655k processor review

Cinebench R11.5 is the newest revision of the popular benchmark from Maxon. The test scenario uses all of your system's processing power to render a photorealistic 3D scene (from the viral “No Keyframes” animation by AixSponza). This scene makes use of various different algorithms to stress all available processor cores.

In fact, CINEBENCH can measure systems with up to 64 processor threads. The test scene contains approximately 2,000 objects containing more than 300,000 total polygons and uses sharp and blurred reflections, area lights and shadows, procedural shaders, antialiasing, and much more. The result is given in points (pts). The higher the number, the faster your processor.

The performance of the 980x leads the way by a huge margin, although the performance of the AMD 1090T follows up closely behind. When we crank the speed of the 875K the differences narrow. The extras cores on the 1090T really help to improve Cinebench 11.5 performance for the AMD solution.
