Raytracing, KribiBench, Cryptography



Single-core performance also rules our cryptography benchmark.



The same can be said for Realstorm Raytracing, which, as the results attest, is single-threaded. Athlon 64s dominate this test.



KribiBench, a benchmark based on a 3D rendering engine, however, is multi-threaded. The default-clocked E.E. 955 takes the performance crown away from AMD's Athlon 64 X2 4800+, and the 4.27GHz-clocked model simply runs away with it, as you would expect.
