Test System Specs & 3Dmark Vantage
|
Core i7 Test System Specs - Intel Core i7 965 Extreme Edition (LGA1366) - Intel Core i7 940 (LGA1366) - Intel Core i7 920 (LGA1366) - Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 (64-bit) - Nvidia Forceware 182.50
Core 2 Test System Specs - Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 (64-bit) - Nvidia Forceware 182.50
Phenom Test System Specs - ASUS M4A79 Deluxe (AMD 790FX) - Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 (64-bit) - Nvidia Forceware 182.50 |
The new AMD Phenom II X4 955 fairs very well in 3Dmark Vantage when paired with either DDR2 or DDR3 memory, though the DDR3-1333 configuration was faster, delivering 9% more performance when compared to the Phenom II X4 940.
This also put this new AMD processor ahead of the Core 2 Quad Q9650, though only by a 4% margin. Perhaps more impressive was seeing the Phenom II X4 955 running at a mere 3% slower than the Core 2 Core i7 920 in this test.
