CPU Benchmarks
HEXUS PiFast Our number-crunching benchmark stresses a single core by calculating Pi to 10m places
Cinebench R15 Using Cinebench's multi-CPU render, this cross-platform benchmark stresses all cores
wPrime 2.1.0 Another number-crunching benchmark that stresses all available CPU cores/threads
Memory Benchmarks
AIDA64 v5.30.3500 Benchmark that analyses memory bandwidth and latency
Multimedia Benchmarks
HandBrake 0.10.2 Free-to-use video encoder that stresses all CPU cores (64-bit)
PCMark 8 v2.4.304 System-wide examination run using Creative preset with OpenCL acceleration
3DMark v1.5.915 Graphics test run using the popular Fire Strike preset
IGP Benchmarks
Grand Theft Auto V 1,920x1,080, normal quality

Miscellaneous Benchmarks
Power Consumption To emulate real-world usage scenarios, we record system-wide mains power draw when idle, when encoding video via HandBrake and while playing Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

Notes

We have five CPUs tested from the ground-up on Windows 10 using the latest available drivers. The chips represent the very best of Broadwell and Haswell, as well as AMD's A10 series of APU.
