CPU Tests
CPU tests now, using Kribibench, Realstorm, LAME and Q3.
The memory access deficit the SB61G2 has don't help with Kribibench, even though it's mainly CPU bound. Performance is competitive, but not excessively so.
Realstorm's CPU intensive nature hides the memory access shortcomings better than Kribibench, keeping the SB61G2 competetive.
Competetive performance from the little SB61G2, agnostic about the graphics chip used in this heavily CPU limited test.
Q3 could take residence in the memory tests section of our system reviews, but its a valid CPU bandwidth test when you're not card limited. It's obvious we are with the on-board core, but when we're 9800XT-powered performance is good with the SB61G2 outpacing the rest.
