Here and now we deal with the rendering and performance of pure compute tasks. We cover gaming performance, as well as workstation performance in CAD (real-time display), in other parts of these CPU charts:
- Part 1 – Gaming Performance
- Part 2 – Workstation Graphics Performance
- Part 3 – Rendering, Computing and Power Consumption
Anyone who believes that professional software scales almost at will with the number of possible threads is definitely wrong. On the one hand, not all tasks can be parallelized at will and on the other hand we come across sometimes very long-lasting software products, the scaling of which extends over four or a maximum of eight threads. Other applications, on the other hand, can create as many as 16 or more threads, depending on the CPU used.
The test setup
We have already described the test methodology in the basic article "How we test graphics cards, as of February 2017" in great detail and so we now only refer to this detailed description for the sake of simplicity. So if you want to read everything again, you are welcome to do so.
In this case, only the hardware configuration with CPU, RAM, motherboard, as well as the new cooling is different, so that the summary in table form quickly gives a brief overview of the system used here and today:
