CPU Performance Tests

3DMark CPU Profile Benchmark

Instead of producing a single number, the 3DMark CPU Profile shows you how your CPU's performance changes and scales with the number of cores and threads used. The 3DMark CPU Profile has six tests that help you benchmark and compare CPU performance for gaming and other activities.

App Performance With X3D Turbo Mode 2

Now we want to see just how much of a performance impact the new X3D Turbo Mode 2 makes in apps. The thing is, with other solutions that are designed to boost the performance of X3D CPUs, the algorithm usually disables or optimizes performance around a single CCD. The algorithm determines whether the non-3D V-Cache CCD or the 3D V-Cache CPU is the best for the app. In Gigabyte's case, the X3D Turbo Mode 2.0 tech utilizes both CCDs, enabling much faster performance.
