AMD Athlon64 X2 "Toledo" Dual Core on Single Die
(Review by MS May 9, 2005)

Caligari TrueSpace 5.1

The TrueSpace version we are using is a bit dusty but essentially, the same holds as for 3dsmax, namely as long as it works, there is no real need to change.

Vases

The first thing we want to look at is in this case the render time, lower is better. There is an initial lag phase during which the data are loaded and some rendering parameters, which is why the render time is a little over 50%. Still, in general, the improvements are about in the same order as what we have seen in 3dsmax.

Power Consumption [Watt]

Under this kind of load, the X2 4800+ shows its true face, that is, twice the rendering power will draw about twice the electrical power. If the cache overhead is factored in, we are seeing once again a ~ 2.4 x power increase over the Venice core - and that is more than what the Clawhammer uses. Keep in mind that the Toledo IS still about twice as fast as the Clawhammer.
