Benchmark Scores
The Comanche
4 benchmark demo was run with texture compression and
hardware shaders enabled, and sound disabled. The Prescott
core's deeper pipelined design is not particularly fond of
C4, yet the extremely CPU-bound nature of the demo's scores
could be reflective of slightly older games being impacted
by the reduced IPCs (instructions per clock cycle) of the
newer architecture.
C4 showed very little difference between
the tested processors, though the 670 outperformed the 3.73GHz and its faster front-side bus.
Lock
On: Modern Air Combat was tested using the first three
minutes of the MiG-29 Intercept demo. The in-game graphics
were placed at a combination of settings, with detail, scenes,
and texture details at high, water at low, heat blr off, and
lights and shadows at full to increase the CPU workload.
Not surprisingly, Lock On displayed
very little variance in its scores between the processors,
with its frame rate flattening out almost completely at the
higher resolutions. Unlike Comanche 4, Lock On's scores gave
the nod to the 3.73GHz.
