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.

Let's see the real test(better than anandtech).After OC, the tests bentween Intel 955 and AMD FX-60:

I have to say, im pretty surprised by the results in single threaded apps, like most games. Despite a 200mhz deficit, it still beats the 57... pretty interesting. Im guessing that the second core is getting SOMETHING to it... maybe the background OS procedures? Dunno.Betwon - Tuesday, January 10, 2006 - link
Stop surprising.Because The benchmark of Business Winstone 2004,Overall WorldBench 5 and Office Productivity SYSMark 2004 may be benefit from multi-core.(a little or more?)
For the multi-thread-paralle apps:
Not only Fx-60 but also PD 820 beat, beats FX-57.

Agreed. The only way you'd see truly single-threaded performance on a machine would be running something like DOS that has no task scheduler whatsoever.Betwon - Tuesday, January 10, 2006 - link
No surprise about games.FX-60 is defeated by FX-57 in most games.
Only in the SMP games, FX-60 beats the FX-57, And PD 820 beats the FX-57 too.

I'm still amazed at the performance difference in Quake 4 between the P-D 820 and FX-60, plus the fact that dual core optimizations in the game engine enable noticeable framerate gains.Xenoterranos - Tuesday, January 10, 2006 - link
Didn't Carmack himself day that that was basically a dry-run, that they didn't really how to go about multithreading it from the start. If Carmack is basically saying that the result we see here are preliminary and "rough", I can't wait until trully optimized code comes along to max both those cores out! Maybe then a quad-sli system will be able to do some damage without suffering the diminishing returns we've recently seen.latrosicarius - Tuesday, January 10, 2006 - link
I think the future of graphics will be single cards with multiple chips/cores.Furen - Tuesday, January 10, 2006 - link
Dont get me started on diminishing returns... lol
