Multi-threaded focus
Multi-threaded tests - media processing
Our two media-processing benchmarks are multi-threaded, hence why the MESH's FX-60 does so well. In both tests the system is significantly faster than our single-core FX-57, and even the vastly cheaper Matrix² CrossFire 1300 SKU almost matches our Athlon 64 setup's performance.
Multi-threaded tests - 3D software
Performance with professional software shows just how well multi-core CPUs perform. Note how the Matrix² CrossFire 1300/1600 machine comfortably beats out our Athlon 64 FX-57 unit? The FX-60-driven Matrix² CrossFire 1900XT isn't quite as fast as our Presler 965; some of that down to the conservative memory timings used by MESH.
