Awarding Performance, Encoding Performance

Once more we see that the Asrock X99E-ITX/ac was a fraction faster than the full size X99 board taking just ii.3 seconds to consummate the Excel 2022 workload.

It doesn't brand sense that the Asrock X99E-ITX/ac is six% faster than the Fatal1ty X99X Killer given the massive reduction in retention bandwidth. Perhaps being that this is a much newer X99 motherboard Asrock has been able to meliorate optimize the BIOS and those enhancements are nevertheless to exist practical to the older boards. Information technology would seem as though the X99E-ITX/air conditioning is being more aggressive with the Turbo clocks of the Core i7-5960X.

This fourth dimension we find that the Asrock X99E-ITX/ac is seven% faster than the Fatal1ty X99X Killer and once again this tin can just be explained by a more aggressive Turbo profile.

Despite existence up to 7% faster in previous tests the Asrock X99E-ITX/ac was slightly slower than the Fatal1ty X99X Killer in our Adobe Photoshop CC exam.

The Asrock X99E-ITX/ac and Fatal1ty X99X deliver the same performance when testing with InDesign CC, After Effects CC and Illustrator CC.

Encoding Performance

The HandBrake test doesn't requite united states much to talkk about. The dual-channel Asrock X99E-ITX/ac had no problem matching the Fatal1ty X99X Killer'due south quad-channel memory.

When working with a 4K sample in our x256 conversion exam the Asrock X99E-ITX/ac and its Core i7-5960X processor rendered 3.92fps, which is about the aforementioned operation you lot'd look to see from whatever X99 motherboard.

Honestly, nosotros thought that there would exist a few occasions where the almost 40% reduction in memory bandwidth would injure Asrock's X99E-ITX/ac, but that clearly wasn't the case every bit it again matched the bigger ATX version using quad-channel memory.

The Asrock X99E-ITX/ac finishes off the benchmarking phase on a high note delivering the same performance as the Fatal1ty X99X Killer.
