System Builder Marathon: Overclocking

Synthetics, Continued

Although PC Mark demonstrates a drastic increase in system and CPU scoring, this ~35% speed difference is actually seen in many real-world applications we benchmarked. Of course, it also demonstrated how the storage speed isn't affected much by the over clock.

SiSoft's Sandra XII synthetic tests also mirror a performance increase in the ~40% neighborhood, similar to some of the application speed increases we've seen.
