Intel's Turbo-Boosting Core i5 661 had the edge in single-thread performance, but with the above four benchmarks making full use a CPU's multiple cores, AMD's quad-core Phenom II X4 965BE understandably comes out ahead.
In terms of CPU performance, the 890GX is practically identical to the older 785G. Is the first 800-series chipset worth the extra £50 or so? We'll find out by putting the IGP and the SATA 6Gbps interface through their paces.
