AMD Athlon II X4 645 3.1GHz Socket AM3 Quad-Core Processor Review
AMD Athlon II X4 645 3.1GHz Socket AM3 Quad-Core Processor Review - PCSTATS
In this review PCSTATS is testing AMD's latest mainstream quad-core chip, the 3.1GHz Athlon II X4 645 processor. Architecturally speaking the Athlon II X4 645 is identical to the preceding Athlon II X4 635 model, except for a modest clock speed increase.

CPU Rendering Benchmarks: Cinebench R10, Bibble 5

Cinebench R10 Source: CINEBENCH

CINEBENCH is a real-world test suite that assesses your computer's performance capabilities. CINEBENCH runs several tests on your computer to measure the performance of the main processor under real world circumstances. The benchmark application makes use of up to 16 CPUs or CPU cores to render a photo-reaslistic image. The scene makes use of various CPU-intensive features such as reflection, ambient occlusion, area lights and procedural shaders. In the first run, the benchmark only uses one CPU (or CPU core), to ascertain a reference value. On computers that have multiple CPUs or CPU cores and on those who simulate multiple CPUs (via HyperThreading or similar technologies), MAXON CINEBENCH will run a second test using all available CPU power.

Higher results are best. Cinebench is multi-threaded.

When it comes to rendering performance per dollar, nothing compares to the Athlon II X4 645 CPU with all four of its 3.1GHz cores computing (score: 9632 for $122 cost). This is a cost-efficient chip for parallel processing applications. For sheer performance the AMD Phenom II X6 1090T wins hands down with a result of 14402.

Bibble 5.0 Source: Bibble Labs

Bibble 5 is a multi-threaded photographic workflow application that can be used to demonstrate the ability to scale work load across 4, 8, 16 or more processor cores. The basic process we will use for benchmarking is to convert a batch of 50 RAW image files from a digital SLR camera from their original RAW format to JPEG's at full resolution, using the applications default image settings.

Lower results are best.

Bibble5 is a photo-ediging program for illustrating the everyday benefits of multi-core processors. With the Athlon II X4 645 in the drivers seat, processing time to convert 50 RAW files to JPEG format is 21 seconds, a rate of 0.421 seconds per image. Intel's "Nehalem"-based quad core processors and AMD's Phenom II X6 processors are predictably fastest, yet it's still amazing how much performance you can squeeze from mainstream, quad core chip that costs just $122.
