CPU Tests
The CPU tests are designed to scale well with CPU frequency increases. They give an indication that a CPU is allowed to work correctly on a given mainboard, the CPU being constant. Kribibench is first.Kribibench v1.1
Kribibench is markedly slower on the AA8, compared to the Intel board. The memory bandwidth deficit, and possibly other internal chipset timings, is the main reason for the 5% slump.
LAME MP3 Encoding
That Kribi deficit is turned around with LAME, the AA8 and 3.4GHz Extreme Edition turning in the fastest stock CPU and motherboard score yet seen at HEXUS. Speedy stuff.
Realstorm
Realstorm is a real-time raytracer, executed entirely on the CPU without any GPU assistance.
This time, the D925XCV is slightly ahead again, outpacing the AA8 to the tune of 3%.
