AMD Athlon II X4 Debut: Enter The $99 Quad-Core
PCMark Vantage
Next we ran a number of processor and platforms, including both of the new Athlon II X4 models, through Futuremark’s latest system performance metric built especially for Windows Vista, 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. Most of the tests are multi-threaded as well, so the tests can exploit the additional resources offered by a quad-core CPU.
