Multi-threaded performance



DivX still favours the faster clocked dual-core E8500 over the quad-core Phenom 9850BE, despite being able to use four threads.





Both CINEBENCH and Pov-ray are able to better harness all four cores of the Phenom 9850BE, giving it a good advantage over the E8500.

Again, we see identical performance between the 790GX 780G,  but that's no real surprise, is it. The differences will be highlighted in the gaming benchmarks.
