![]() Part 1 focuses on single-threaded performance as measured by the 32-bit version of CPU-Z 1.75. For this reason, I ran two "waves" of benchmarks. I also noticed that CPU-Z 1.84 was giving some of my older machines hilariously low and obviously inaccurate scores. For example, here are the single-threaded results for a Core i7 4930K running different versions of CPU-Z: ![]() Also, the 64-bit editions were scoring roughly twice as high as 32-bit editions. Right off the bat, I noticed that different versions of CPU-Z were producing wildly different numbers. This 200MHz Pentium is yawning with excitement. But why stop at Ivy Bridge when you have a ready and willing Pentium MMX? ![]() My main computer is powered by an IVB-E i7-4930K, humming to the tune of 4.6GHz. Colton's Ivy Bridge-E powered computer "Godzilla" is what inspired me to do some of my own benchmarking. ![]() I decided to run the CPU-Z benchmark on some of my machines after reading a recent article by Colton Westrate. That said, I found the results absolutely fascinating. For all I know, it could be running Excel offscreen and drawing scenes from Crysis, column by column. Indeed, CPU-Z's built in benchmark is so synthetic, I don't even know what it's measuring. I need a benchmark with a synthetic touch!
