AMD 760MP & Athlon MP - Dual Processor Heaven

Overall System Performance

The last set of performance figures we're going to take a look at are from SYSMark 2001, a benchmark that isn't designed to show off MP performance by any means. The reason we include it is because it provides a great example of how power enthusiast users can benefit from MP systems without using applications that are specifically designed with parallel processing in mind.

These performance figures are for those of you that run a lot of applications at once but not necessarily ones that are multithreaded.

The Dual Xeon manages to pull ahead in one more benchmark, to find out why we must consult the individual components of the SYSMark 2001 suite.
