BENCHMARKING

 

POV-RAY BETA 3.7 v29

As a good overall and very processor intensive benchmark, POV-Ray tests the photo rendering ability of any processor. The beta version being used today allows for multi-core benchmarking.

When it came down to this benchmark, the i5-750 essentially matched the performance of the i7-870 seeing it wasn't using all eight cores within the i7 processors. This is exactly what is behind the reasoning for this processor. If you don't use eight cores in your day to day computing, why pay extra for them?

 

 

 

 

CINEBENCH 10 RENDERING BENCHMARK

Cinebench is an excellent rendering benchmark to see how a processor will manage a set photo rendering task.

Cinebench rendering illustrated where hyperthreading does help when it comes to media rendering. This is where most buyers should consider exactly how they will be using this processor. But with that said, you can see how it absolutely demolishes an older Core 2 Duo E6750.

 

PCMARK 2005 CPU BENCHMARK

PCMark 2005 is an excellent basic benchmark that tests the CPU by putting it through day to day tasks such as file transfer, audio compression etc.

Seeing this benchmark is a great overall gauge of how a processor will do in a standard multi-task computing environment. Again, this benchmark and is partial use of media rendering did yield a lower score. But keep in mind, this processor is less than half the price of the i7-870 and represents excellent performance for the dollar.
