(Review by MS June 27, 2005) |
| AMD Athlon 64 3800+ (Venice) |
3D Rendering and Power
We used Caligari TrueSpace since it runs multithreaded and furthermore pushes the CPU hard enough to heat it up to the point where we can realistically expect a high-temperature ICC
Screenshot of the CPU utilization and the four individual renderlines seen in the case of the P4-840 EE. Keep in mind that the dual core CPUs deliver twice the rendering power and, therefore, also the power consumption is expected to exceed that of a single CPU.
Render Time
Render time in seconds, lower is better. Note that at the "same" clock speed, the overclocked Venice is exactly as fast as the San Diego-based FX57.
Render Power
More cores, more power. The FX57 draws quite a bit more power than the overclocked Venice which is consistent with our Windows idle measurements.
