Multi-threaded performance
The story remains the same as we move on to dual- and quad-core processing. The Phenom 9900-equipped Spider platform is between 10.9 - 17.3 per cent slower than the Intel platform which, by design, includes identical memory and graphics cards.
And, unsurprisingly,the situation is mirrored when all four execution cores are taxed to the limit with multi-core-aware CINEBENCH and POV-Ray benchmarks.
