Three generations of Intel CPUS are separated by roughly 10 percentage points, with AMD’s FX-8350 tying the Core i7-2700K at the slower end of that range. Given its ability to scale across at least 12 threads, FineReader puts Intel’s Core i7-3930K in first place.

In sharp contrast, printing a PowerPoint presentation to PDF only involves a single thread. So, the CPU with the highest clock rate and best IPC wins. That processor is Intel’s new Core i7-4770K, which outperforms the Core i7-3770K that, in turn, out-maneuvers the Core i7-2700K.
This is where AMD’s Piledriver architecture especially feels pain. Despite throttling up under the effects of Turbo Core technology, the FX-8350 and A10-5800K fall quite a bit behind.

Prior compile projects wrapped up a lot faster. So, you asked us for something more demanding. This Google Chrome workload is well-threaded, which is why the Core i7-3930K places first. Intel’s new Core i7-4770K isn’t far behind, though. Meanwhile, Core i7-3770K and -2700K maintain a sizeable advantage over AMD’s quad-module FX-8350.

Fritz isn’t really a productivity app (unless you consider playing chess productive), but we’re putting it here anyway. The results from each processor are reflected in kilonodes per second. A node is a position on the chessboard. So, in the case of Core i7-4770K, Fritz evaluates more than 14,000 thousand nodes per second, or 14+ million. If you give the engine enough time to “think”, you’re going to get a pretty competitive computer opponent. Hope you brought your A-game.

EDIT : LOL!!!!

You shouldn't ask here. Perhaps you should get an i7-4770k and a 7970(?) I heard that kepler cards does not perform that good in Maya and Aftereffects (In OpenCL).
EDIT:
other sites have reported much lower watts idle, so a lot doesn't make sense or the 4770k has a very slow throttle.

Of course not. No one should upgrade from Sandy or Ivy to this, unless you are the 1%.
2. Another thing i noticed, the FX8350 was a big total energy hog. That is one point AMD fanbois dont talk.
3. Chris , no specialized AVX2 softwares ? No AVX enabled Handbrake in tests ?
4. Would have liked to see some -/AVX2 compiled software in here. Maybe left for another "compiler tuning on Haswell piece" ?
Yeah, I agree with ya. Without competition there is no innovation. As for intel, "I am disappoint"
