Microsoft Excel 2007
Excel can be a very powerful mathematical tool. In this benchmark we're running a Monte Carlo simulation on a very large spreadsheet of stock pricing data.
Sony Vegas Pro 8: Blu-ray Disc Creation
Although technically a test simulating the creation of a Blu-ray disc, the majority of the time in our Sony Vegas Pro benchmark is spend encoding the 25Mbps MPEG-2 video stream and not actually creating the Blu-ray disc itself.
Sorenson Squeeze: FLV Creation
Another video related benchmark, we're using Sorenson Squeeze to convert regular videos into Flash videos for use on websites.

Any thoughts on whether different memory speed has a greater effect on chips with no L3?jjpmann - Wednesday, October 21, 2009 - link
How would the X4 620 compare clocked at the same speed as the X4 605e?wolfman3k5 - Wednesday, October 21, 2009 - link
I like the review, and I like the new products from AMD/ATI.That being said, I've read the posts. How many retards actually post here? Some of the comments are clearly unintelligent and stupid and bellow the standards of this website.
READ THIS: SOME OF YOU BLOODY IDIOTS BEHAVE LIKE RETARDS!!! STOP POSTING RUBBISH!!!

Hey. Insist on Intel Inside. Intel Inside PC is powerful and intelligent. Other than that are rubbish.fsdetained - Wednesday, October 21, 2009 - link
I found it funny how Intel has only one cpu under 65w tdp for desktops on newegg and its a 1.8ghz single core celeron while AMD is about to release six at 45w tdp that will easily outperform it along with the two they already have out at 45w tdp.Accord99 - Wednesday, October 21, 2009 - link
It's just a general figure that's unnecessarily overrated for the C2D. All the dual-cores would fit within a 35W TDP and most the C2Q would fit within a 65W TDP.maddoctor - Wednesday, October 21, 2009 - link
No, Intel products are outsold and AMD processors can not sold because its products are rubbish in the eye of the consumers.SunSamurai - Sunday, November 1, 2009 - link

SUCK ON IT.
You're rubbish in the eyes of everyone here.

After diggin through all of Maddoctor's delightful and humorous comments, I find myself asking this question...Why does HP, Dell, Gateway, Acer, Lenovo, and all other PC makers choose to offer ANY AMD products in their portfolios?
I think Maddoctor forgets that those in business of making computers can make MORE profit using AMD than they can make using Intel. After all, PROFIT is the driving force of business.
Joe public does not care what CPU is working for him, as long as the job gets done, in a reasonable amount of time. Joe Public could care less if he has supercomputing capabilities...for his VIDEO GAME.
I am pwning plenty of i7's, Q6600's, E8500's, Phenoms, etc. with my lowly dual P3 box running the AGP port. The fact remains, 99% of computer users on this planet could care less who (AMD or Intel) is running their applications, as long as they pay next to nothing for the computer.
Even Maddoctor can understand this fact.

Why does HP, Dell, Gateway, Acer, Lenovo, and all other PC makers choose to offer ANY AMD products in their portfolios?The European Commission can answer that one for you.
