Performance in Applications

During data archiving, Athlon II X4 falls about 10% behind Core 2 Quad Q8200 showing almost the lowest result among all testing participants with the only exception of the dual-core Core 2 Duo E7500.

During Excel calculations things look even worse. This application is well optimized for multi-threaded load and Athlon II X4 processors can only compete against dual-core Intel solutions. If we compare their performance against other AMD processors, these quad-core CPUs without the L3 cache will be about as fast as triple-core Phenom II X3 equipped with an L3 cache.

We can see approximate parity between Athlon II X4 and Phenom II X3 in Adobe Photoshop CS4. But Athlon II X4 is again significantly behind competing Intel solutions: quad-core as well as dual-core ones.

However, during non-linear video editing in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 the new Athlon II X4 CPUs show brilliant results, just as during simple video transcoding.

보다시피 헤카 720이 프로푸스 620 및 상위 630을 전체적으로 압도하고 있다. 이전 아난드텍과의 차이점이라면 전력소모 부분인데, 아이들시에는 프로푸스의 전력소모가 좋고, 풀로드시에는 헤카의 전력소모가 좋다. 인텔 프로세서와의 비교시에는 요크필드 Q8200 급으로 볼수 있고, 전체적인 글로벌 자료들을 종합해보면, 프로푸스의 가격대 성능비가 좋은 편만이라고는 판단할수가 없다. 인텔 프로세서와의 비교보다는 동회사의 헤카시리즈가 너무 막강한 경쟁력을 갖고 있기 때문이다.
