Results - Futuremark 3DMark06 & AquaMark3
Next, we have two synthetic gaming benchmarks. 3DMark's CPU score was a fair reflection of the specifications of the processors, as the Core i7-950 took the crown and the Core i5-750 was among the slower of the contenders. When it came to the overall score however, the Core i5-750 showed significant improvement. Looking at the jump in scores after enabling Turbo Boost in the Core i7-870, we have no doubt that this feature could be a reason why the Core i5-750 ranked such. The AMD contingent also cannot be dismissed, as the 965 was faster than the Core i7-920 and almost equal to the Core i7-860.
AquaMark3 remains a very lightly threaded application, which explains why the Lynnfield processors dominated the CPU score here, beating the Bloomfields comprehensively. The Core i5-750 was able to win here thanks to Turbo Boost and while the resultant FPS score showed that the CPU score did not mean everything in the final reckoning, it was enough for the 750 to beat the Core i7-920.
