Intel Core i7 3820 and ASrock Extreme4-M review

We are measuring power drain at the wall, excluding the monitor and focusing just on the system. For load tests, we run Cinebench R11.5 64 bit.

Power efficiency is good, but slightly worse than the Core i7 2600k, both when idle and when at full load. The FX8150 leads the pack here, in the test it actually won't want to lead!

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

  4. 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.
