Sandra Cryptography

We’re not sure if the latest update to SiSoft Sandra has changed the Cryptography algorithm or if the i5-4670K is just that impressive. So we’ll reserve judgement until we’ve tested it further. Certainly the AIDA64 AES256 test didn’t indicate that the i5-4670K was a cryptanalyst’s wet dream.

Once again the raw horsepower of the Core i7-4770K cannot be denied, and yet the Core i5-4670K makes the most of the overclock to bridge the Hyper-Threading gap. 8.26 CPU Pts is hugely impressive from a quad-core CPU.
