Been meaning to ask for a while now, but just been so damn buzy in skool...
does x58 have any real benching values in them anymore?
since ivy bitch is rolling out with z77 sets, it's got the potentially of replacing sandy bitch, also before the 2011 rolled around the corner 1366 was like the only chipset that's got more than 4 cores on a single chip which it would be nice for like wPrime or stuff that actually use muti core based benches...
but now since everything is coming out, it seems more and more of a problem...

makes a good gamer :D
they can clock faster than the X79 but the X79's got more bandwidth ...
Make it live Bro :thumbsup:

What dawg is saying is true if you are benching multi-gpu setups and when you are clocking those x58 chips atleast around 6Ghz.......Otherwise there is nothing in x58 as a benching rig IMO

I think it is still the best 6 core platform as 2011 CPU's seems to struggle clocking as high as some of the top 980X's
I am not convinced the higher bandwidth makes up for such clock deficets
But I have zero in hands experience with 2011 :ohcrap:
Quads forget it, X58 = RIP

thank god...
i have a 6 core but same time i really hope i didn't degraded my chip since i accidentally forgot to dump more LN2 in hehe
i am using it as 24/7 right now for my work station hehe trying to learn how to make CG videos for my up passable job lol
damn i miss benching

The don't clock as high, but the additional bandwidth equals Higher scores. My CPU score in Vantage with a 3960X at 5.5ghz was 75K and change :eek: Don't think a 980X can touch that!
