CINEBENCH
is a real-world test suite that assesses your computer's performace
capabilities. CINEBENCH runs several tests on your computer to measure the
performance of the main processor under real world circumstances. The benchmark
application makes use of up to 16 CPUs or CPU cores to render a photo-reaslistic
image. The scene makes use of various CPU-intensive features such as reflection,
ambient occlusion, area lights and procedural shaders. In the first run, the
benchmark only uses one CPU (or CPU core), to ascertain a reference value. On
computers that have multiple CPUs or CPU cores and on those who simulate
multiple CPUs (via HyperThreading or similar technolgies), MAXON CINEBENCH will
run a second test using all available CPU power. Higher results are best.
Cinebench is multi-threaded.

The Phenom II X4 910e again finishes behind the upstart
Athlon II X4 635 once all four cores are powered up, thanks to the latter
processor's higher clockspeeds.

Cinebench is one of the cases where Windows Vista
actually gives better results than Windows 7.
Bibble 5 is a multi-threaded photographic workflow
application that can be used to demonstrate the ability to scale work load
across 4, 8, 16 or more processor cores. The basic process we will use for
benchmarking is to convert a batch of 50 RAW image files from a digital SLR
camera from their original RAW format to JPEG's at full resolution, using the
applications default image settings.
Lower results are best.

The Phenom II X4 910e also does quite well in Bibble,
with a slightly better score than the AMD Athlon II X4 635, although it can't
quite measue up to AMD's other Phenom II 900-series processors or the Intel
quad-core processors.

Bibble also sees a small speed boost in Windows 7,
shaving off about a second off its time.
