Subject: strange

the x5450 with its 12mb L2 cache seems to actually perform better than my 4790k

the win10 performance graph application, under the ctrl+alt+del options, or ctrl+shift+esc, shows x5450 never touching 100% load. and the 4 graphs look like they are hardly moving. like barely any CPU being used at all.

when i bring up the win10 performance chart, there is always a 100% spike in CPU in every system i have ever done this on. the initial loading of the chart will always spike your cpu.
but on the x5450, it only hits 70% usage and not 100%, which is a first i have ever seen ...
am i perhaps missing something? is the x5450 actually faster?
