NUCLEARUS MULTI CORE OVERALL 6933 5637 ALU 6728 5240 FPU 5108 4053 MULTI THREAD 7261 6014 AMD ATHLON II X2 240 AMD ATHLON64 X2 4800

COMMENT - "Nuclearus Multi Core Benchmark is a modern Processor Benchmark so makes good use of Dual Core Technology. The AMD Athlon II X2 240 starts off well beating the AMD Athlon64 X2 4800 by 19% Overall. Here is a break down of the CPU, FPU and Multi-Thread Results. Using the CPU Benchmark the AMD Athlon II X2 240 beats the AMD Athlon64 X2 4800 by 23%. Using the FPU Benchmarh the AMD Athlon II X2 240 beats the AMD Athlon64 X2 4800 by 21%. Using the Important Multi-Thread Benchmark the AMD Athlon II X2 240 beats the AMD Athlon64 X2 4800 by 24%."

PERFORMANCE TEST CPU MARK 988 832 2D GRAPHICS 919 745 3D GRAPHICS 741 725 FINAL PASSMARK 558 417 AMD ATHLON II X2 240 AMD ATHLON64 X2 4800

COMMENT - "Performance Test makes excellent use of Dual Core Technology. Using the CPU Mark the AMD Athlon II X2 240 beats the AMD Athlon64 X2 4800 by 16%. Using the 2D Graphics Benchmark the AMD Athlon II X2 240 beats the AMD Athlon64 X2 4800 by 19% which is to be expected because the AMD Athlon II X2 240 has a 400Mhz Speed Advantage over the AMD Athlon64 X2 4800. The 3D Graphics Benchmark is next and is more of a Video Card Benchmark so doesn't make for a great CPU Benchmark. Anyway the AMD Athlon II X2 240 beats the AMD Athlon64 X2 4800 by 3% using the 3D Graphics Benchmark. The Final Passmark is next and the AMD Athlon II X2 240 beats the AMD Athlon64 X2 4800 by 26%."
