| Intel's P4 820D and 670 More Power to Duallies | |

| P4-670 |
Application Benchmarks: CineBench 2003
Maxxon's Cinebench does not need much introduction but briefly, the benchmark features a still life ray tracing benchmark that is run in either single or multithreaded mode and a few realtime rendering approaches that are basically single-threaded.
Raytracing: Single Thread
Raw clock speed rules here, along with cache size and memory latency, which are conditions that are not expected to make the P4 820 happy.
Allowing parallel execution of multiple threads boosts the 820's performance beyond that of any single core
Cinema4D shading is - once again - single threaded and the 820 falls way behind the 670, which takes the crown, courtesy of its supreme clock speed
Both Software (above) and Hardware-accelerated (below) OpenGL benchmarks are single threaded and do not show the 820 in a favorable light
