Hyper Pi uses a workload very similar to Super Pi, but is adapted to make use of more than one processor thread.
We used Hyper Pi's ‘8M' benchmark setting and ran it on the maximum number of threads for each processor, with the ‘Realtime' priority setting.
Despite placing a single-threaded, pi-calculating benchmark on each processor thread, the quad-core, hyper-threading 4770K still manages to outperform IVB-E's 6 core, 12 thread part by around 10%. A similar performance advantage (to that of Super Pi) of around 7% is observed for the 4960X over the 3930K.
As was the case with Super Pi, the FX-8350 is omitted from the Hyper Pi test as AMD's parts are known to have an unfair disadvantage performing with Hyper Pi's x87 code.
Epic stuff. skimmed over it before work this morning, bookmarked for a good read later today. Next on my list to place my 3930k.
Well at least it seems to overclock a bit better than Haswell. Good info on the core to core tests. 4770k is the most efficient processor on a core basis.
4960x looks like a solid processor, but I wish AMD could offer more of a challenge then Intel would be forced to drop their prices a little. it is very very expensive. Still, for the target audience of people who render etc looks like a great buy.
AMD , where are you!???
Great review, haven’t read all of it yet, but picked up some interesting info. Way out of my price range. im saving for a 4570k and a new mobo. always good reading these ultra high end reviews, just to dream !
wow a lot of work in this one. I do agree with eran earlier in the review. Intel are kick ass, but the prices are hard to swallow. 4770k for a bang to buck is much better, but same with the last generation. these 6 core CPU’s cost a small fortune.
Good work Mr Hill.
best review of this I have read today. I love INTEL!
Ah the perfect partner. Blows the heck out of the FX 9590.
Did ASUS provide a release date for the X79-Deluxe?
LqM, the Asus board will be hitting retailers in the coming days.
Asus would release more boards or just the deluxe?
I wont get the 4770k. 4820 is much better IMO
what are the boot times and boot options on the “Asus X79-Deluxe”?
