Intel Core I7 980X Extreme Review An Overall Look At The Core I7 Family Memory Bandwidth Performance

Results were even more disappointing when running EVEREST Ultimate Edition, where the write performance was considerably weaker for the 980X. Even the Core i5 750 was found to be much faster in both read and write tests. Using EVEREST Ultimate Edition we also checked L2 cache performance. As you can see, the Intel Core i7 980X performs rather well here. Clearly the additional L2 cache from the two extra cores came in handy in this test.
