System configuration and testing methodologies
Below you can see something done with CPU-Z monitoring software that shows us all the parameters of the Intel i7-3960X CPU:
The Intel Core i7-3960X will be subjected to numerous tests over the course of this review, the test platforms can be read in the following table:
SYNTHETIC
• 3DMark Vantage
• AIDA64
DATA COMPRESSION AND MULTIMEDIA
• 7zip
• Winrar
• Cinebench 11.5 and 10
• X264 HD Benchmark
• Hand Brake
• Fritz Chess
• Blender
• POV-Ray
• Euler 3D
• SiSoft Sandra
Other specific tests for CPU frequency, memory frequency, 3D scaling with SLI GTX 580, and finally consumption will follow. There will be a page dedicated to testing and overclocking, however, using a x79 Asus Sabertooth.
