Dual core shoot-out: Intel versus AMD
Published: 03 Nov 2005
Rendering performance
When tested using Maxon Cinema 4D rendering software, the dual core Athlon 64 X2 processors are superior to their Intel counterparts. This test also demonstrates the effect of Hyperthreading in Intel's dual core chips: the HT-equipped Pentium EE 840's performance in the Multi-CPU test is more than double its Single-CPU result, while the performance increase for the Pentium D, which lacks Hyperthreading, is significantly lower.
