Next up, we ran our test systems through Futuremark’s total-system performance evaluation tool, PCMark Vantage. PCMark Vantage runs through a host of different usage scenarios to simulate different types of workloads including High Definition TV and movie playback and manipulation, gaming, image editing and manipulation, music compression, communications, and productivity.

Preliminary Testing with PCMark Vantage

Synthetic Benchmarks

Most of the sub-tests used to come up with the final scores in each category are multi-threaded as well, so the tests can exploit the additional resources offered by a multi-core CPU.

Generally speaking, the AMD A6-3650 trails all its competition in the PCMark Vantage test suite. There are a couple of instances where the A6-3650 pulls ahead of the dual-core Core i3-2100T, but the deltas are small and the Intel CPU leads overall.
