3ds max 5.0
Formerly known as 3D Studio Max, Discreet's 3ds max suite is one of the top end 3d rendering tools available. The benchmarks included onthe learning and demo CD are relatively low in their vertex count and therefore favor the Intel processor architecture, however, as a counterbalance we throw in our own Amorphium3 benchmark with a complex geometry that, in turn requires more floating point power.
CBalls and Single Pipe. In both cases, the 925 has to yield to the 875 chipset
Underwater Environment and Amorphium3. In Amorphium3, the Extreme Edition distances itself from the rest of the P4 field, courtesy of its large L3 cache but has no chance against the high-end AMD processors. Clock Speed does not help the Prescott in this type of application, Amorphium or by extension other floating point-intense applications that are using small portions of the object for a step by step rendering don't appear to like the Prescott.
