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.

The AMD
Sempron 3600+ CPU only has one processing core, which is why it scores less than
the other PCs do in PCMark05. Obviously with only one core, you can't expect it
to match the other CPUs in terms of processing power, but its memory performance
is pretty good.
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.

Testing was done with the onboard videocard, a GeForce
7600GT and GeForce 7800GTX videocard to give you an idea on how a standalone
graphics card can impact 3D performance. Obviously higher is better, but
remember adding a stand alone videocard will increase the price of the PC system
too. 3DMark05's overall score is pretty much videocard limited, which tells us a
lot about the 3D ability of the AMD Sempron 3600+. The CPU score is lower but not by much! There is about a 1600 point
difference between the GeForce 7800GTX and 7600GT but is that worth spending
double the money on the videocard?
