Intel Core i7 3820 and ASrock Extreme4-M review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell January 11, 2012 CPU, Highlights-new, Motherboard

Handbrake is a fantastic free program which we wanted to include to confirm findings with Media Espresso, earlier in the review. HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows.

We used the latest V 0.9.5 for testing today across all platforms. We encoded an DVD.MPG file.

The memory bandwidth reaps rewards with this specific test. The 3820 is around 7 seconds faster than the 2700k at default clocks and is only 8 seconds slower than the reference 990X EE when overclocked to 4.5ghz.

    Very nice indeed. I like the asrock board, most of the p67 micro atx boards sucked

    Interesting to see them releasing a CPU at the same price as the 2600k for the X79 platform. Wasnt expecting that.

    It looks like the Cyberlink MediaEspresso tests didn’t use Intel Quick Sync Video on the Intel Core i5 2500K or Core i7 2600K/2700K systems. Those processors would appear higher up the table if that was enabled and used.
