Phenom II Outperforms Core 2 in Multimedia Performance?

jmke · 3rd December 2008, 15:47

Intel platform features DP35DP motherboard, and AMD platform utilizes MSI K9A2 Platinum. The testing platforms both use HD3870 Graphic cards, Corsair CM2X1024-8500C5 1GX2 and Western Digital 1500ADFD. The document shows that Phenom II 940 processor outperforms Core 2 Q9400/9300 in multimedia performance in most occasions. The above software is also what Intel has been emphasizing.

Very nice - they are comparing previos-gen CPUs from Intel clocked 500Mhz lower, and hell, what a wonder, the 3Ghz Phenom II is faster. Only one thing is for sure, it will be cheaper

The rest is marketing BS.

I am impressed, talk about stacking the info. As NPP said, CPUs compared are 400Mhz slower and I bet cheaper than the Phenom II price will be.

Chart axis is not 0 either, 5% difference is negligible.

If you want Phenom II performance metrics, look at http://techreport.com/articles.x/15905
