Memory tests, HEXUS.PiFast, compression

|---|---|---|
| AMD Athlon X2 7750 BE | AMD Athlon X2 6000+ | Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200 |
| 7.83 | 8.17 | 4.58 |
With no integrated memory-controller on the dual-core Intel E5200, the reported figures are slanted, rightly so, towards the Athlon X2 duo.
| Sciencemark 2 memory latency | ||

| AMD Athlon X2 7750 BE | AMD Athlon X2 6000+ | Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200 |
| 59.87 | 46.51 | 57.2 |
We'd have thought that the Phenom-based Athlon would far better in the memory-latency test, however.
| HEXUS.PiFast - calculation to 10m places | ||
|---|---|---|
| AMD Athlon X2 7750 BE | AMD Athlon X2 6000+ | Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200 |
| 43.4 | 41.01 | 39.67 |
Our single-threaded PiFast test calculates the constant to 10m places. The results are interesting insofar as the 2.7GHz Athlon X2 7750 makes up most of the clock deficit compared to X2 6000+ - 2.7GHz vs. 3.1GHz - via a leaner, meaner architecture. However, the even-slower-clocked E5200, running at 2.5GHz, is faster still.
| WinRAR 3.80 compression of 1.2GB file | ||
|---|---|---|
| AMD Athlon X2 7750 BE | AMD Athlon X2 6000+ | Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200 |
| 657 | 669.5 | 744.5 |
But compressing a 1.2GB file into WinRAR is comfortably faster on the X2 7750 than on the Intel equivalent.
