The 975 Black Edition test system performs quite well compared to the dual and triple-core processors in this synthetic benchmark, however it's ALU noticeably remains a step behind the six-core AMD chips. To be frank there aren't any surprises in the Sandra results; the 975 BE is slightly quicker than both the AMD 970 BE and 965BE CPUs as expected.
