In het afgelopen half jaar heeft Tweakers.net gestaag gewerkt aan het opvoeren van de testactiviteiten, wat zich onder andere heeft vertaald naar reviews van serverplatformen, beeldschermen, RAID-adapters, harde schijven en videokaarten. Een onderdeel dat niet in dit lijstje mag ontbreken is de processor, het hart van iedere computer. Sinds juli zijn er daarom de nodige inspanningen geleverd om een testmethodiek voor processors en systemen te ontwikkelen en om testresultaten te verzamelen. Doordat de release van de Core 2 Duo met twee weken was vervroegd, waren we helaas te laat om Intels nieuweling met een passende review te verwelkomen. In plaats daarvan hebben we onze aandacht gericht op het ontwikkelen van een uitgebreide testsuite en het uitvoeren van tests voor een 'Core 2 Duo workstation upgradeguide', waarin een Athlon 64 3000+ wordt opgewaardeerd naar een Core 2 Duo-
De nieuwe CPU-testsuite omvat diverse applicatie-, game- en low-level benchmarks. De nadruk ligt op multi-tasking en encodingprestaties, omdat dit het gebied is waar verschillen in processorprestaties het meest tot uiting komen in de praktijk. Daarnaast is een processor uiteraard van belang voor de gameprestaties. De suite bestaat uit de volgende benchmarks:
- CPU Suite 2006
- Applicatiebenchmarks
- 2D Graphics
Photoshop CS2 + Lightroom Multitasking - Photoshop tijd (15)- Photoshop CS2 + Neat Image Multitasking - Photoshop tijd (16)
-
Cinebench R9.5 x64 (7) - LAME 3.97 x64 Multi-threaded (7)
- LAME 3.97 x64 + 7-Zip 4.42 x64 Multitasking - 7-Zip tijd (7)
- Windows Media Encoder 9 x64 (7)
- BSW2004 MT + QuickTime Pro 7.1 - QuickTime tijd (12)
- Multimedia Content Creation Winstone 2004 (9)
- Energieverbruik - Idle (5)
- The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - 800x600 (5)
- Oblivion + DVDShrink 3.2 Multitasking - Oblivion framerate (5)
- Geheugenbandbreedte - Read (7)
- Geheugenbandbreedte - Copy (7)
- L1 cache bandbreedte - Read (7)
- L1 cache bandbreedte - Copy (7)
