3D Rendering: Lightwave [8]
Personally, I believe that 3D Rendering should drive the PC market rather than gaming but with the general clientele of ADD plagued teenagers making a huge portion of the market, it won't happen. Not soon at least...
A single frame raytracing scene shows the X2 alongside with the dual Opteron SMP system in the lead.
Interestingly, when it comes to the animated part of Lightwave [8], speed wins, despite the fact that a total of 8 threads were specified for the rendering in question. Particularly, the P4 840EE's HyperThreading appears to be too much for the program to handle.
3D Rendering: Cinebench 2003
Maxon's Cinema3D Benchmark suite contains a single threaded raytracing benchmark along with the same benchmark allowing parallel execution of multiple threads.
