FX-53 vs. 3.4 EE: CS: Source

Athlon 64 FX-53 vs. Pentium 4 3.4GHz Extreme Edition – Counter-Strike: Source

Notes

Surprisingly, the Counter-Strike benchmark is more demanding than the Video Stress Test, at least when it comes to processor scaling, with significantly lower frame rates. Even still, the FX-53 establishes an 11 percent lead over Intel’s Extreme Edition at 800x600. The move up to 1600x1200 sees that gap shrink substantially; however, the relatively small drop in performance moving from low resolution to high indicates that, indeed, we’re dealing with a processor-bound test.
