Test Systems and SANDRA
We tested the CyberPower Gamer Extreme 3000 as configured from the system builder and ran it through our benchmark suite. Then, we compared the results to three, recently reviewed X58 systems to give a better idea of just how well it performs.

Along with specific sub-system benchmarks, SANDRA provides reference component metrics from its database to produce easy to read comparison graphs. These tests show the Core i7 860 and P55 platform's impressive improvement over previous generation Core 2 parts. And as you will find in the following pages, this mainstream chipset is not far off from Intel's high end X58 option.
