We've always known Expendable to be a very CPU limited benchmark more than anything else and in video card reviews we've normally discounted that as a downside to using the benchmark. But in this case it does an incredible job of showing off the potential of the Athlon CPU as it completely dominates at 1GHz offering very impressive performance. Then again, what can you expect when you're running at 1000MHz?
We get a similar situation here, with a 5% drop in frame rate because of the jump to 1024 x 768 x 32.

Ahh, the days when AMD lead the benchmark charts... ;)wingless - Wednesday, January 4, 2017 - link
These were definitely the days. AMD dominated for about as many years as Intel has so far (January 4th, 2017). In the next few months after I post this, we'll see if AMD's Ryzen brings them back into the competition.Cloakist - Friday, July 5, 2019 - link
