Intel Core i7-5960X "Haswell-E" HEDT Flagship Processor Benchmarked and Overclocked To 4.0 GHz - 6.23 GHz World Record Achieved

The commencement benchmarks of Intel's side by side generation Core i7-5960X "Haswell-E" processor have been unveiled by Coolaler forums. While several tech sites including usa have the X99 and Haswell-Due east review planned for 29th August, Coolaler went ahead to showcase a performance preview of the upcoming Core i7-5960X processor which is the flagship SKU of the Haswell-Eastward lineup. Intel Haswell-E Core i7-5960X

Intel Core i7-5960X "Haswell-E" HEDT Flagship Processor Benchmarked

We have about of the details regarding the Haswell-Due east processors thanks to the leak from Videocardz earlier this calendar week. The Intel Haswell-Due east processor lineup would include three SKUs, the Cadre i7-5960X, Core i7-5930K and Core i7-5820K. All processors are built on the 22nm Haswell architecture which means that they will amend the IPC performance while keeping the aforementioned ability limits equally previous generation processors due to enhanced power efficiency of the Haswell microarchitecture. Before moving into the feature set of the platform itself, we will particular the SKUs that will be launching in 29th August 2022:

Intel Cadre i7-5960X Processor

The Intel Core i7-5960X Extreme Edition would be the flagship processor of the lineup boasting 8 Cores and sixteen threads. The Haswell-E Core i7-5960X will house 2.6 Billion transistors within its 22nm die and measures at 335.2 mm which is considered a huge die. The die cake diagram likewise shows that the Core i7-5960X is not a 12 core die equally previously expected which turns out to be a Xeon core. Nosotros tin can run across 8 Cores with a large amount of shared L3 cache in the centre with a DDR4 memory controller at the bottom and Queue, Uncore and I/O at the pinnacle side. This would be Intel'south offset eight Core consumer processor and would be clocked at 3.0 GHz base of operations and three.5 GHz boost frequency. The processor would feature 20 MB of L3 cache, 140W TDP and support for DDR4-2133 MHz retentiveness. Existence the flagship processor of the Haswell-Due east lineup, the Core i7-5960X would end up with a cost of $999 The states.

In terms of raw functioning, the Core i7-5960X is around 20% faster in terms of 4K Video Editing, 32% faster in 3D rendering and xiv% faster in games and AI processing compared to the final generation Core i7-4960X CPU that is the flagship Ivy Bridge-E offering. The models will exist available with Intel'due south TS13X liquid cooler which has been in the market since the first generation of Sandy Bridge-E processors and is priced in between $85-$100 and compatible with LGA 2022-3, LGA 2022, LGA 1366 and LGA 115* platforms.

Thayn3 over at coolaler forums configured a test setup for the Haswell-E platform which includes a Gigabyte X99 Gaming G1 WiFi motherboard, xvi GB of G.Skill Ripjaws Four retentiveness operating at 3000 MHz CL15, ii GTX Titan Black graphics cards, two Sandisk Extreme Pro 256 GB SSDs in Raid 0 and a Corsair H110 AIO closed loop liquid libation. In stock performance numbers, the Core i7-5960X scored 18978 MB/s / 16573 MB/southward / 16475 MB/s and 150.0 ns in Memory Copy/Read/Write/Latency benchmarks through MaxxMem ii. In Cinebench, the chip scored 1270 CPU marks in multi-threaded performance compared to 1096 on the Core i7-3930K and 822 on the Core i7-4770K.

The used besides overclocked the chip to 4.0 GHz at just i.200V (fixed voltage) which resulted in a Cinebench score increase to 1508 from 1270 and in HyperPI, the flake was able to end 1M calculations in only 14.555 seconds. Surprisingly, the temperatures during both stock and overclocked runs was pretty decent for the flake, running at a maximum temperature of 55C at 4.0 GHz and 45C at the stock clock speeds. Following is a run downward of the scores:

CineBench R15 (CPU Multithreaded Performance):

Intel Cadre i7-5960X @ four.5 GHz: 1741
Intel Cadre i7-5960X @ 4.3 GHz: 1616
Intel Cadre i7-5960X @ 4.0 GHz: 1508
Intel Core i7-5960X @ three.0 GHz: 1270
Intel Core i7-3930K @ three.3 GHz: 1096
Intel Core i7-4770K @ 4.4 GHz: 822

Hyper PI and MaxxMem Functioning:

Intel Core i7-5960X @ 4.0 GHz Maxmemm: 18978 MB/s / 16573 MB/s / 16475 MB/due south and 150.0 ns
Intel Core i7-5960X @ four.0 GHz HyperPi: xiv.555 Seconds

We also have a surprise for you, a few days ago, we found a validation of the Core i7-5960X which was running at six.2 GHz on LN2 overclock with the X99S SLI Plus motherboard. Russian overclocker TaPaKaH achieved this earth tape before anyone else using Liquid nitrogen and a high voltage of i.753V. Yous can find it below:
