The Canada Computers Content Creator X2 is an extremely powerful system and here we see that it scores about 100 points higher in the Internet portion of the test than the Athlon64 4000+ (currently the fastest Athlon64 non FX processor on the market) we tested back in October 2004, very impressive!

Content Creation Winstone 2004 is a system-level, application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall performance when running top, Windows-based, 32-bit, content creation applications in Windows XP. Business Winstone 2004 runs real applications through a series of scripted activities and uses the time a PC takes to complete these activities to produce its performance scores.

The Business Winstone 2004 numbers are not as high as we'd expect but then again in the benchmark there isn't as much multitasking. A regular Athlon64 4000+ scores around the same in this test, not surprising considering the processors are clocked at the same speed. Content Creation 2004 numbers are slightly higher than its single core equivalents, the Athlon64 4000+ teamed up with the DFI LANParty NF4 motherboard gets around 39 points.
