PCMark04 test also showing the average performance of the systems during various tasks solving, again puts Pentium 4 and Pentium 4 Extreme Edition CPUs to the forefront. Even Athlon 64 FX-55 refuses to oppose them.

However, the memory subsystem benchmark from the same test package awards Athlon 64 and Athlon 64 FX from AMD with the winner’s medals. This is not at all surprising, because with the shift to Socket 939 platform these processors acquired a dual-channel integrated memory controller with unprecedentedly low latency.
