3D Rendering Performance using 3dsmax 7
Once again, we're using an updated version of the SPECapc 3dsmax test for version 7 of the application. The scenes being rendered haven't actually changed, but the reference numbers used to compute the composite scores have, so these scores aren't directly comparable to results from earlier SPECapc tests.

The Pentium Extreme Edition 955 holds a slight 5% performance advantage over the Athlon 64 X2 4800+, which gives it the lead in our 3dsmax 7 test.

edit:Why is it slower the latency of the memory? 101ns is much more than 5x ns. where is the 'on-die' communication? Your test program is wrong?

Thanks Anand!I don't know if you'll have time, but one of the things lacking in all of the other reviews of the OC XE955 is a comparison to an OC X2 4800...
Speculation is quite rife, and it would be a good comparison IMNSHO.
Cheers!

Intel's back...back again...backkkkkkk again..backkkkkkkk again...du dah duh dayacoub - Tuesday, January 3, 2006 - link
If by "back" you mean finally (barely) able to compete with existing AMD performance, then yes. ;P
