Boston Venom 2500-0P Gaming PC Review

CPU & Memory Performance

Cinebench R15

Cinebench’s synthetic operations allow us to determine the multi-threaded capabilities of a particular CPU. During the render test, the Venom’s 5960X achieved a magnificent score and only just pipped by a higher clocked, 6-core 5820K CPU. To put this into perspective, the 5960X should reach more than 1279 if a manual frequency boost is applied. Additionally, when you consider an 8-core processor is within 37 points of a 6-core with a 300 Mhz deficit, then it seems more impressive.

Super Pi

The Venom does quite poorly in SuperPI which revolves around a single-core testing procedure. Therefore, the benchmark cannot properly utilize all those extra cores and tries to eke out of inch of performance from the 4.1 GHz overclock. The data shows a clear correlation between CPU frequency and time taken to complete the 32M result. Although, the i7-6700K is an anomaly and outperformed chips with a higher clock speed.

AIDA64 Engineer

In terms of memory bandwidth, the Venom’s 32GB quad channel DDR4 2800MHz RAM easily surpasses every other system we’ve benchmarked and features a superb array of read, write and copy rates. In all honesty, I didn’t expect the figures to be this high so it was a welcome surprise.
