Testing – CPU Testing
First up we have Sisoftware Sandra. We ran the two CPU specific benchmarks the Processor Arithmetic and Processor Multi-Media. Higher scores are better here.
CINEBENCH uses a test scenario that makes use of all of your system’s processing power to render a photorealistic 3D scene (from the viral “No Keyframes” animation by AixSponza). This scene makes use of various algorithms to stress all available processor cores. Higher scores are better here.

The x264 HD Benchmark 5.0 encodes a 1080p video segment into the x264 format. There are two passes with 4 runs each. We average the 4 runs for each pass to give you what you see below. Obviously higher frames per second is better.


It’s called a ATX12V/EPS/EPS12V connector that was created by ISS in 1998 two years after ATX12V spec was Announced. Not 8-Pin ATX that every buddy seem to keep calling it, that’s your tip of the day. Nevertheless great review getting the Asus ROG Maximus VI Hero edition.
