3DMark06 doesn't stress multiple cores as well as 3DMark Vantage does, but the AMD Phenom II X4 975 Black Edition still pulls ahead because of its high clock speed. More games are starting to take advantage of quad-core processors, although performance is still almost entirely dictated by the videocard(s).

In the CPU portion of this benchmark, Phenom II X4 975 Black Edition chip scores 4996 vs. the Intel Core i5 750's result of 4140.
