Our 7-Zip and WinRAR benchmarks get only a little boost from the Core i7-3930Ks in Lenovo's Erazer and the $2550 SBM machine, though higher clock rates and more modern architectures in the comparison builds play a role in narrowing the gap.
WinZip results are all over the map so to speak, with clock rate the most consistent advantage across all disciplines. The $1300 PC has the most OpenCL-friendly GPU, but the OpenCL-accelerated workload appears to favor the M8 build’s Haswell-based Core i7.
