For any test to be valid we need to start with the control and in an attempt to keep things simple we decided to run our Sandra benchmarks and use those numbers as our baseline.  Sandra is a software collection of synthetic benchmarks that will give us a basic idea as to what a system is capable of. It should be noted that SiSoft numbers change depending on what hardware is being tested.  These were recorded using Sandra Professional Version 19.35.2013.4

Synthetic performance never really tells the entire story, but is a good indication of what the system would probably be capable of doing under the right condition.  Dare we say the results are rather inconclusive, at least in these synthetic tests.  CPU and Multimedia performance are about even with a slight bump in memory bandwidth.
