ASRock Z170 Extreme 7+ (LGA 1151) Motherboard Review

CPU Performance

Cinebench

CINEBENCH is a real-world cross-platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s CPU performance. Cinebench R15 is a totally free utility and is available for download here.

Straight into the first test and the ASRock EX7+ and i7-6700K combo puts up a good fight, almost 15% more performance than the 4770K and only 1% behind the 5820K once overclocked.

WPrime

wPrime is a leading multithreaded benchmark for x86 processors that tests your processor performance by calculating square roots with a recursive call of Newton’s method for estimating functions. wPrime is a free utility that is available for download here.

Again, the 6700K securely placing itself just behind the 5820K.

SiSoft Sandra

The SiSoft Sandra Dhrystone and Whetstone benchmarks are widely used measures of compute power and performance for a wide array of real-world usage scenarios. You can find out more details on these tests here or download SiSoft Sandra here.

Here the 6700K completely dominates the top of our chart.
