Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition CPU Review
WinZip
Contents
We used WinZip not only to measure compression time, but also decryption time. We measured the time each CPU took to decompress and decrypt 200 JPEG images, 125 of them at 10 megapixels and 75 of them at six megapixels. The total size of all the photos was around 830 MB. The results below are given in seconds, so the lower the number the better.
Decompressing and decrypting files, the Core i7-3960X was 10% faster than the Core i7-990X and 35% faster than the AMD FX-8150.
