System Performance
SiSoft Sandra, meanwhile, is another good test of overall CPU performance. It places a heavier reliance on just how potent the CPU is, so the newest Core i7 monster hands out a beating to all others.
And nowhere is that better exemplified than when looking at AES256 crytography bandwidth, which is a component of the overall score. This is a case of bandwidth and cores coming together.
Serious horsepower is needed to breech the 10K barrier. Both Extreme processors are able to manage it, just.
