In our synthetic tests there really is only one winner, the Athlon64 X2 is light years ahead of the Intel system in every test other than memory related testing. We did expect this to be the case as the DDR2 used in the Intel system benchmarks high. What we didn’t expect though was the margin that the X2 would outscore the P4EE. In Sisoft Sandra we are looking at +40% on all CPU tests which is truly mindblowing. What was also interesting to us was the closeness of the scores on memory within Sandra, whilst the PC mark memory scores were significantly different there was only a small margin between the two systems in Sisoft Sandra…This could well also be the case in real world memory usage. Regarding the 3800+ Athlon64 we can see that the Intel EE is quite a bit ahead in the synthetic performance with only the Arithmatic Drhystone test being pretty close.
