Notes

The Core 2 CPUs put up an impressive showing in F.E.A.R., managing to pull ahead of the FX-62 by 14% for the X6800 and 9% for the E6700. At 1600x1200 the burden shifts from the CPU to the GPU and performance is basically the same regardless of the CPU used.

While it sports pretty graphics, F.E.A.R., like most games hasn’t been programmed to take advantage of today’s latest dual-core processors, and as such the FX-57 is able to slightly outpace the newer X2 5000+. Let’s take a look at performance with one game that does take advantage of dual-core: Quake 4!
