Blender
Blender is the free and open source 3D creation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline—modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, even video editing and game creation.
Cinebench R15
CINEBENCH is a real-world cross platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s performance capabilities. CINEBENCH is based on MAXON’s award-winning animation software CINEMA 4D, which is used extensively by studios and production houses worldwide for 3D content creation. MAXON software has been used in blockbuster movies such as Iron Man 3, Oblivion, Life of Pi or Prometheus and many more.
Cinebench R11.5
Cinebench is based on Maxon’s Cinema 4D. It is used to compare graphics as well as processor performance. We are using the CPU performance numbers for our comparison.
HandBrake
HandBrake is a tool for converting video from nearly any format to a selection of modern, widely supported codecs.
PCMark 10
PCMark 10 is a complete PC benchmarking solution for Windows 10. It includes several tests that combine individual workloads covering storage, computation, image and video manipulation, web browsing and gaming. Specifically designed for the full range of PC hardware from netbooks and tablets to notebooks and desktops, PCMark 10 offers complete Windows PC performance testing for home and business use.
POV-Ray
The POV-Ray package includes detailed instructions on using the ray-tracer and creating scenes. Many stunning scenes are included with POV-Ray so you can start creating images immediately when you get the package.
SuperPI
Super PI is used by many overclockers to test the performance and stability of their computers. In the overclocking community, the standard program provides a benchmark for enthusiasts to compare “world record” pi calculation times and demonstrate their overclocking abilities. The program can also be used to test the stability of a certain overclock speed.
WinRar
WinRAR is a powerful archive manager. It can backup your data and reduce the size of email attachments, decompress RAR, ZIP and other files downloaded from Internet and create new archives in RAR and ZIP file format.
X264 HD Encode Benchmark
This benchmark measures the encoding performance of the processor. It offers a standardized benchmark as the clip as well as the encoder used is uniform.
Intel Core-X Single Core Clock-To-Clock Performance Results:
I also tested the various chips of the same tier at adjusted clock speeds to note down any IPC improvements. It looks like that Core-X maintains the same IPC as Skylake and Kaby Lake main stream processors with only minor improvements that come from more stabilized clocks. The clock speeds used are listed as:
- Intel Core i5-7600K / Intel Core i5-7640X (4.5 GHz adjusted clocks)
- Intel Core i7-7700K / Intel Core i7-7740X (4.5 GHz adjusted clocks)
- Intel Core i7-6950X / Intel Core i7-7820X (4.0 GHz adjusted clocks)
- Intel Core i7-6800K / Intel Core i7-7800X / AMD Ryzen 5 1600X (4.0 GHz adjusted clocks)
- Intel Core i7-6900K / Intel Core i7-7820X / AMD Ryzen 7 1800X (4.0 GHz adjusted clocks)
