Is CPU Overclocking in Solidworks 2017 worth it? (i7-7700K)
Overclocking your CPU can result in higher performance in Solidworks, but there are a number of risks you run when doing so. In this article we will be benchmarking Solidworks 2017 with an overclocked Intel Core i7 7700K CPU to determine exactly how much better performance you can achieve while also presenting the main downsides associated with overclocking.
Premiere Pro 2017 Intel Core i7 7700K & i5 7600K Performance
With the new Kaby Lake CPUs from Intel, the main question everyone wants to know is how much faster they are compared to the old CPUs. In this article, we will be tackling this question in terms of Premiere Pro performance by examining how the new Intel Core i7 7700K and the Intel Core i5 7600K perform compared to the previous generation Intel Core i7 6700K and Intel Core i5 6600K. In addition, we will also look at a number of “High-End” Core i7 CPUs including the i7 6850K, i7 6900K, and i7 6950X.

Adobe Lightroom 2015.8 Storage Performance Analysis
While what CPU or video card you should purchase tends to be at the forefront of any workstation hardware discussion, storage is often just as important. While there is little existing evidence that Lightroom benefits from particularly fast storage drives for your project files, considering how fast modern hardware has become we felt the need to look into it in more detail.
Adobe After Effects CC 2017 Disk Cache Performance Analysis
Having a fast disk cache plays a very important role in After Effects, allowing you to store frames you have already rendered for playback at a later time. In this article we will be looking at how different speeds of cache drives impact the performance of After Effects.
Samsung 960 Pro vs 950 Pro Performance & Thermal Throttling
M.2 drives like the Samsung 960 and 950 Pro can give incredible performance, but under sustained loads they can get hot enough that the drive needs to throttle the performance to stay within safe temperature limits. In this article, we will not only compare the 960 Pro to the 950 Pro in terms of raw performance, but also in terms of how quickly each drive will throttle.
Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2015.4 Storage Optimization
More than almost any other hardware component, the advice you will often see concerning how many and what kind of storage drive to use along with the best way to configure them is based either on anecdotal evidence or information that is vastly out of date. In this article, we will be benchmarking a variety of drive types and configurations to see what actually makes a difference when working in Premiere Pro.
What is Aggregate CPU Frequency and why is it wrong?
While not yet a common term, over the past year or so we have started to see a rise in the usage of the term “Aggregate CPU Frequency” as a way to estimate the performance between different CPU models. While at first glance this term seems reasonable enough, in the majority of cases it is unfortunately going to be inaccurate and wrong.
