Intel Broadwell-E Core i7-6900K & 6950X Review

Processing Power Performance – Cinebench R15

CINEBENCH can measure systems with up to 64 processor threads. This test scene contains approximately 2,000 objects which in turn contain more than 300,000 polygons in total, and uses sharp and blurred reflections, area lights, shadows, procedural shaders, antialiasing, and much more. The result is displayed in points (pts). The higher the number, the faster your processor.


Again, there are marginal advantages for the processing power within Cinebench too. Here it's somewhat surprising to note the margin by which the Core i7-6900K outpaces the i7-5960X, far greater than one would expect if the only differences between the two were marginal clock speed increases; naturally the 10-core i7-6950X dominates the heavily multi-threaded CPU task.

Applying an overclock will increase performance and achieve better results, but the improvement isn't directly proportional to the magnitude of the overclock.



As you would expect, utilising the GPU to render in OpenGL results in relatively small difference between each of the CPUs, although there remains some benefit to the Broadwell-E designs.
