Professional Applications
CineBench 9.5
This new addition to the CineBench testing program updates the code to run in 64-bit mode if the user desires. We are still using the 32-bit Windows here, so not a lot has changed though scores between versions are not comparable.
3D Studio Max 5.1
In both DirectX and OpenGL flavors, this World Bench test goes through a basic 3D editing session and renders the images as well.
SPECviewperf 8.01
This benchmark has been a standard for quite a while in the workstation world and the 8th iteration of it includes newer applications and simulation models.
Most of our tests show a small gain in performance moving from the DDR1 to DDR2 versions of the AMD processors; the FX-62 is still the king of the hill in all of our tests thus far.
