Gigabyte Z77X-UP7 Intel Z77 Motherboard Review

CINEBENCH R11.5 64 Bit is a real-world cross platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s performance capabilities. CINEBENCH is based on MAXON’s award-winning animation software CINEMA 4D, which is used extensively by studios and production houses worldwide for 3D content creation. MAXON software has been used in blockbuster movies such as Spider-Man, Star Wars, The Chronicles of Narnia and many more.

CINEBENCH is the perfect tool to compare CPU and graphics performance across various systems and platforms (Windows and Mac OS X). And best of all: It’s completely free.

The i7 3770k is an excellent processor for 3D rendering duties, especially when overclocked to 4.8ghz. At default clock speeds it outperforms the AMD FX8150 when that chip is overclocked to 4.8ghz. Obviously there are considerable price differences, but it shows how far ahead the Intel cores are right now (4 Intel v 8 AMD).
