Intel Core i7 3960X / 3930K Sandy Bridge-E reviewed

Benchmarks: 60 min. audio to FLAC (fpFLAC)

The time needed by multi-threaded encoder fpFLAC  to convert 60 minutes of wave audio into FLAC is shown in this graph. Interesting fact about this test is that it is the only one, save for the GPU-limited games, where the 3960X and 2600K perform almost exactly the same.
