CPU-centric benchmarks




The three CPU-focussed tests show that a stock-clocked Intel Core i7 980X, outfitted with six cores and 12 threads, is better than an overclocked Core i7 950, which makes do with four cores and eight threads.

While we can see a difference in the these results, modern quad-core CPUs are more than fast enough for everyday tasks. Heck, a quad-core Core i7 chip at 4GHz is hardly slow.
