Intel i7 3960X EE / Asus P9X79 Deluxe / 32GB Corsair Vengeance (1600mhz) 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.

Intel's Core i7 990X is a rendering powerhouse, but it looks positively pedestrian when compared with the new Core i7 3960X EE, scoring 9.28 points compared against 11.39 points. This is a huge difference with this benchmark. By comparison the latest AMD FX8150 scores just under 6 points at reference clocks.
