Intel X38 vs. Intel X58 Results

Given that the two synthetic benchmarks take into account CPU performance when tabulating scores, we were not surprised to see the X58 system using our top Core i7 processor scoring substantially higher on both 3DMark06 and 3DMark Vantage.

On gaming applications too, we noted that you can gain significantly more performance on an up to date X58 system. As the graphs clearly show, on both Far Cry 2 and Dawn of War 2, performance gain on an X58 system on average was around 30% to 40% - and that's quite a significant amount. The only time when the might of the Core i7 processor did not come into play was on Crysis Warhead.

So clearly, whether or not an X58 platform is useful or not depends on whether the software in question can successfully take advantage of the Core i7's added might over an older architecture such as the Core 2 Quad processor on our Intel X38 system.
