Given this is a quad-core CPU, it’s able to run those cores at higher clock speeds than the newer high core count CPUs. This means in tests that only use those four cores, it will perform pretty darn well. Here you can see it pulls ahead of the Ryzen 1800X quite nicely, The 7700K overclocked a little higher, but overall it’s about on par for performance here.
As I was saying about core counts, multi-core testing is where it lacks the punch, and the Ryzen CPUs, as well as the new 10-core i9 pull way ahead. However, the 7740X is again right on the tail of the 7700K. I bet if our chip would have hit 5.1 GHz, it would be slightly ahead of the 7700K here.
Not a great score, but not a bad one either. While a higher core count CPU is better suited for this kind of job, those who only need to encode a few videos from time to time will find it capable of the job.
The WPrime score wasn’t too bad either, again on par with the 7700K when overclocked, although stock performance wasn’t exactly impressive.
