AMD 760MP & Athlon MP - Dual Processor Heaven

Office Productivity Performance

Not everyone likes to encode videos while working in Photoshop, in fact there are a good amount of AnandTech readers that don't even have Photoshop installed. The Office Productivity user is heavily running tasks like MS Office, while browsing the net, unzipping files and actively scanning for viruses. The performance here is much more governed by disk I/O and won't scale nearly as well with dual processors as the Internet Content Creation test but it is good to look at nevertheless.

Performance is very difficult to improve in this situation as it honestly doesn't take much to run well. Because of this, the Athlon MP and Xeon platforms perform nearly identical to one another.

Going to Dual Athlon MPs only reduced average system response time by 7%. This is obviously not the targeted market for the 760MP or multiprocessor systems in general.
