PCMark05
is a premium tool for measuring both normal home use and simple 3D performance
of the latest PC hardware. There are 11 system tests - each one is designed to
represent a certain type of PC usage. By running these tests, PCMark05 stresses
the components in a similar manner as they are stressed in normal home usage.

PCMark05 definitely prefers the dual core processors
over the single core AMD Sempron 3600+ by the way these results have turned out.
The Sempron 3600+'s performance is in line with the AMD Athlon64 4000+, and
that's still pretty good company to be with.
3DMark05
is best suited for the latest generation of DirectX9.0 graphics cards. It is the
first benchmark to require a DirectX9.0 compliant hardware with support for
Pixel Shaders 2.0 or higher! By combining high quality 3D tests, CPU tests,
feature tests, image quality tools, and much more, 3DMark05 is a premium
benchmark for evaluating the latest generation of gaming hardware.

3DMark05's overall score for the 2.0GHz AMD Sempron
3600+ is only slightly lower than the single core Athlon64 4000+, and that's
pretty good all things considered. Overclocking the 3600+ boosts the overall or
CPU scores negligibly.
