Results: Compression
Of the three compression utilities we benchmark, only 7-Zip taps into the Vishera design's parallelism enough to score a win for the cheaper PC. WinRAR and WinZip, both of which benefit from Intel's efficiency, decidedly favor this quarter's $800 system. We also see that, in WinZip, AMD's Radeon R9 280X handles OpenCL acceleration best.
