Multi-threaded Performance
A selection of multithreaded benchmarks were used to guage multi-core performance from the overclocked AMD Athlon 64 X2 in the SCAN 3XS system, versus the stock clocked CPU in the HEXUS comparison system.Cinebench 2003
The SCAN 3XS Chameleon system scales above the HEXUS reference system by the clock speed difference (2760 vs 2400) as expected. Expect similar trends in all the other tests.
picCOLOR v4.0
The SCAN 3XS Chameleon is around 8% faster as a product of clock speed mainly. The non-linear scaling will be explained in due course.
Kribibench v1.1
The 3XS Chameleon system is faster by 10.5%, elements of performance in the memory subsystem slightly holding it back from going faster. Those will be explained shortly.
ScienceMark 2.0 - Primordia
The Chameleon system is nearly 9% faster than the HEXUS reference platform.
Memory subsystem analysis shows why there's not a larger increase in most of the tests, that facet of performance not scaling like the CPU clock.
