Internet Content Creation

Most of the benchmarked models involve large files with quite a bit of integer operations as the actual workload. Memory and cache really don't matter that much compared to clock speed and even the infamous IPC is not really relevant here

3D Content Creation

3D Creation only shows the impact of the marginally higher clock speed.

The same holds for 2D ContentCreation

It is open for discussion whether there is a real performance increase of the "-E" version of the Alderwood chipset or not In summary, it is hard to justify any performance increase in Content Creation applications beyond the slightly higher clock speed.
