The results from Sandra 2011's Processor benchmarks are quite exciting; the combination of an Intel Core i7 3820 CPU and Gigabyte GA-X79-UD5 motherboard yield impressive results!

Under a 32-bit OS, the platform achieves a CPU ALU of 110.8 GIPS and iSSE3 93.6 Gflops. Excellent! Moving to Win7 x64 improves results a further 25% as CPU ALU jumps to 144.7 GIPS. Processor arithmatic whetstone (iSSE3) falls from 93.6 to 88 Gflops, however.

In the CPU Multi-media Integer test, we see an 11%-21% improvement between Win7 x32 and Win7 x64 test systems. Interestingly, AMD's FX-8150 Bulldozer + AMD 990FX platform competes strongly against the Core i7 3820/X79 combo in the CPU multimedia Integer x8 sub test.

Let's see how the integrated Sandy Bridge-E memory controller affects Sandra as PCSTATS tests x32 and x64 versions of Win7 head to head. Click 'Next Page' to continue.
