Intel Core i9 10980XE and ASUS ROG Rampage VI Extreme Encore Review

SiSoft Sandra – Arithmetic and MultiMedia

Sandra performs a similar function to AIDA64, but it tests it in a different manner which gives us an excellent overview of the whole setup and how well rounded it is. The tests take longer than the AIDA64 ones, but that just makes them more likely to trip up a poorly implemented overclock, or weed out any hidden depths.

In the first two Sandra results we’re gobsmacked at how well the Core i9-9980XE and even the Core i9-7980XE perform against this 10th Generation Core i9. Perhaps these tests aren’t letting the Core i9-10980XE show off its under the hood improvements.
