With 4K monitors becoming more and more affordable, it appears the the long-standing reign of 1080p may finally be coming to a close. The question is: can the human eye actually see the difference with a 4K monitor or are manufacturers just using the hype to sell you a more expensive product?
With the rolling launch of Intel’s new consumer Skylake-S CPUs complete, there is also a whole new line of motherboard chipsets available. These six chipsets are divided into two separate categories: consumer and business. In this article, we will examine the features of each of the new chipsets to help you determine which is right for you.
The Samsung 950 Pro is the successor to the Samsung SM951 and their first retail M.2 drive. While this drive does run cooler than previous M.2 drives from Samsung, it still has some throttling issues due to high temperatures. Even with that, this drive has incredible sequential read and write performance at an attractive price point.
After Effects 2015 has some significant performance problems with multiple CPUs due to the removal of the “Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously” feature. In this article we want to test AE 2014 to see how well AE was able to utilize systems with both higher core count and multiple physical CPUs before this feature was removed.
High-end systems for After Effects are often sold with two high core count CPUs for maximum CPU performance. However, our testing has shown that After Effects actually has some significant performance problems with multiple CPUs which makes those configurations in reality much slower than a system with a single CPU.
PhotoScan is a program that takes a series of photographs and combines them into a 3D model. In this article we will be benchmarking PhotoScan to determine exactly how well it is able to utilize multiple CPU cores to help determine what CPU will give the best overall performance for PhotoScan.
PhotoScan is a program that takes a series of photographs and combines them into a 3D model. What is a bit unique about it is that the performance of certain portions of the software can be drastically improved by used multiple video cards.
Premiere Pro is often touted as greatly benefiting from high core count CPUs. In this article we will be benchmarking the multi-threading capabilities of Premiere Pro CC to determine if it actually is at using high core count CPUs.
The Samsung SM951 is the successor to what was at one time the fastest consumer M.2 drive – the Samsung XP941. This drive has incredible sequential read and write performance, but suffers from extremely high temperatures under load.
Skylake-S introduces a number of changes compared to Haswell that makes it fairly attractive as a platform including the move to DDR4 RAM. It also uses less power, runs cooler, and has some very significant performance improvements in some applications.
