Benchmarks: CPU

Two of the PCs in our line up are equipped with a Core i7-3820 processor - the Dino PC Raptor X79 OC and CyberPower Infinity Xtreme XT - but Cinebench shows a difference in multi-core CPU performance between the two.

Why is that? The answer's simple, Dino PC doesn't overclock the chip quite as far. The Intel Core i7-3820 runs at 4.56GHz in the CyberPower machine, and 4.4GHz (103 BCLK, 43x multiplier) in the Raptor X79 OC.

Still, this is a Sandy Bridge Extreme processor and it's lightning fast. Coupled with the SSD, it makes for an incredibly responsive PC.

Geekbench assesses combined CPU and memory performance, and with quad-channel memory coming into play, the DinoPC Raptor sits comfortably among the fastest PCs on show.
