The Intel Pentium D 940 processor does fairly well in SYSMark2004, illustrating that office oriented software takes a similar approach to most processors. On the whole the Pentium D 940 is able to outperform the Pentium D 840 but is slower than the AMD Athlon64 FX and X2 parts. Still, the performance differences between each processor is close enough that workstation users probably won't notice.
