7-Zip
7-Zip is an open source Windows utility for manipulating archives. We measure the Total Rating performance using the built-in benchmark tool. The test stresses all CPU cores to 100% and shows an affinity for memory bandwidth.
Cinebench R15
Cinebench is an application which renders a photorealistic 3D scene to benchmark a computer’s rendering performance, on one CPU core, all CPU cores or using the GPU. We run the test using the all core CPU mode.
Sandra Processor Arithmetic
SiSoft Sandra 2018 is a multi-function utility program that supports remote analysis, benchmarking and diagnostic features for PCs, servers, mobile devices and networks. We run the application’s processor arithmetic test to gauge the CPU performance on each tested motherboard.
CPU performance for the Supermicro motherboard aligns well with the ASUS motherboard, both of which seem to respect stock Intel turbo specifications, unlike the ASRock motherboard.
The one caveat here for the Supermicro motherboard is that there was an issue where setting an XMP profile automatically increased the core voltage, causing heavy power based throttling that dropped the all-core turbo speed from 4.3GHz to 3.3GHz. This is detailed more in the UEFI page, for those that are interested. This testing shows the results after we corrected that UEFI anomaly manually.
For a rough guide of how CPU performance compares to other platforms please see our most recent reviews for the following platforms:
B450/X470 (Ryzen 7 2700)
Z370 (Intel Core i7 8700K)
X299 (Intel Core i9 7900X)
Please note software and driver versions have changed hence why we caution that results are not directly comparable.
