Results - Futuremark PCMark Vantage

Like SYSmark 2007, PCMark Vantage also has a diverse range of tests, but not as taxing as the former. While the new Core i7-3960X manages to get ahead of the Core i7-980X by a good margin, it's again only on par with a Core i5-2500K, much less than a Core i7-2600K. Running the new platform on faster memory clock speeds produces very little boost just like in SYSmark. PCMark Vantage has more productivity tasks than multimedia content creation workloads and as such the scores of the Sandy Bridge-E hover around that of the existing Sandy Bridge platform.
