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 away, the ASRock board shows the rest who is boss, offering around 5% more performance at stock and around 30% when 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.
This might become a rather boring review with “the ASRock Z97E-ITX/ac wins again”. Around 5% at stock and 30% overclocked performance increase.
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.
A little off the 5% and 30% increases at stock and overclocked respectively. Still a massive feat for an ITX board.
