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.
In both CineBench and the 3D Studio Max tests from WorldBench, both of the Core 2 Duo processors are beating the AMD FX-62 platform without much fuss. In SPEC ViewPerf, the results are much closer, but the X6800 is clearly the better performer.
