AMD Athlon II X4 620 Quad Core Processor Review

Testing:

The first part of our testing will be the system specific benchmarks.

Let's get started with Apophysis. This program is used primarily to render and generate fractal flame images. We will run this benchmark with the following settings:

• Resolution: 2750x2048
• Quality: 500
• Limit Memory use: 512MB

The measurement used is time to render, in minutes, to complete.

Lower is Better

WinRAR is a tool to archive and compress large files to a manageable size. We will use 100MB , 500MB files and test the time needed to compress these files. Time will be measured in seconds. Additionally I will use the built in benchmark as a comparison.

In these scientific benchmarks the Athlon II X4 620 trailed behind the more powerful processors.
