Benchmarks: Super Pi, Hexus piFast, Cinebench 2003
SuperPI
calculates the number PI to 1 Million digits in this raw number crunching
benchmark. The program allows the user to change the number of digits of PI that
can be calculated from 16 thousand to 32 million. Our benchmark is set to 1
Million digits and 19 iterations.

SuperPi is not a multi-threaded application and here we
see that the Athlon64 X2 4800+ based Canada Computers Content Creator X2
completes a 1 million digit test in 36 seconds or the same as an Athlon64 4000+
single core processor. In a 64-bit environment, SuperPi is not able to calculate
pi to 1 million digits any faster than with a 32 bit operating system.

Pifast is
a small program that computes Pi to a set amount of decimal places and also
displays how long it takes. This then gives us a basis for charting the results,
giving a performance indicator for new and old technology at a
glance.
Lower results are better.

Like in Super Pi, Hexus piFast does not get any
performance boost when running in WindowsXP 64. These times are consistent from
what we've seen from the Athlon64 4000+ at stock speeds so that would indicate
that piFast is a single threaded test.
CINEBENCH
2003 is the free benchmarking tool for Windows and Mac OS based on the powerful
3D software CINEMA 4D RX. The tool is set to deliver accurate benchmarks by
testing not only a computer's raw processing speed but also all other areas that
affect system performance such as OpenGL, multi-threading, and
multiprocessors

Cinebench 2003 results are quite good and Cinebench 2003
gets a decent boost in performance when rendering with two cores. A regular
Athlon64 4000+ scores about the same in the Rendering 1 CPU test. It should be
obvious that 64 bit migration is going to take some time. Cinebench 2003 is a
bit on the "old" side and CPU power actually goes down when running in a 64 bit environment.
Cinebench 2003 64 bit edition gets some interesting results but as more 64 bit
software is released on the market, I'm sure developers will spend more time
eeking out performance.
