Final Rendering

Final rendering can be done in multiple execution threads very efficiently. Therefore, this test produces the same picture as the video processing tests: the more cores a CPU has, the faster it performs. So, the six-core product from AMD is ahead of the quad-core solution from Intel and matches the quad-core and Hyper-Threading enabled Core i7-860. The quad-core CPU from AMD is expectedly as fast as the Core i5-760 and faster than the dual-core Core i5 and i3 series products. The dual-core Phenom II X2 is slow again because Intel’s dual-core solutions feature Hyper-Threading which helps them a lot in multithreaded applications.
