An addendum to my last posted novabench test: that was done soon after startup of pc and under the crispest of conditions. I got a few 1980s and didn't take screenshot but considered them flukes. I've hit 1970 many times on a crisp benchmark.

The addendum is that doing the same benchmark after the z420 had a heavy day of multiwindow, multitab browsers and spreadsheets, plus leaving pc on for 24-48 hours without sleep mode for ssd, just screen sleep after an hour... well, the real world results are interesting.

The top notch 1970 score dips into the 1880s-1890s and sometimes the 1910s-1920s after a heavy day's work. Unfortunately don't have screenshots to share but will in the future. Not bad for a 5 year old chip and motherboard! Ha! Have yet to figure the true max cpu potential of this motherboard. The Xeon it came with seems good enough for single cpu for now. If I could get a dual cpu workstation deal though. ;-)
