Cinebench R11.5 is the newest revision of the popular benchmark from Maxon. The test scenario uses 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 different algorithms to stress all available processor cores.
In fact, CINEBENCH can measure systems with up to 64 processor threads. The test scene contains approximately 2,000 objects containing more than 300,000 total polygons and uses sharp and blurred reflections, area lights and shadows, procedural shaders, antialiasing, and much more. The result is given in points (pts). The higher the number, the faster your processor.
Here we can see that there was a greater than fourfold increase in performance when the test was allowed to run with multiple threads. This is the advantage i7 chips have over i5, as they feature hyper threading.
great motherboard, looks a lot better than many of the other GB boards ive seen in recent years.
awesome board, next on my list to buy
I think its £15 overpriced.
Its not overpriced, for what you get its pretty good value. id like to see a few more sata 3 ports however at the price.
Are there compatibility issues with D14>/?
Hi Optical Illusion,
I tested the motherboard with a Phanteks PHTC-14PE which is actually slightly larger than a D14. The only compatibility issue would be with memory featuring large heatspreaders but this is going to be an issue with the D14 on pretty much every motherboard on the market.
