Memory and single-threaded testing
While the AMD Athlon 64 FX-62 AM2 storms ahead in the memory bandwidth benchmark, the ASUS board takes the lead on memory latency. That's down to the method by which Intel has designed the Core 2 micro-architecture rather than extreme tweaking on ASUS' part, though
There is practically no difference between the two Intel Core 2 Duo systems here. Pifast does a good job at just showing how much raw, single-threaded processing power the Core 2 Extreme CPU has at its disposal.
