While ScienceMark tests mainly the FPU, memory bandwidth is also very important. unsurprisingly, the Athlon64 3800+ sweeps these tests. The 3800+ is operating on a different level than the rest of our test processors so far.

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, multithreading, and multiprocessors
