Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 Review

Testing:

Specview 10 is a benchmark designed to test OpenGL performance. I will be using the multi-threaded tests to measure the performance when run in this mode. The tests used for comparison are listed below. The default multi-threaded tests were chosen to be able to compare across platforms. In these tests, higher scores equate to better performance.

• Catia
• MAYA
• PROE

Higher is Better

PcMark Vantage is used to measure complete system performance. We will be running a series of tests to gauge performance of each individual board to see which board, if any, rises above the others.

The Q9300 is outperformed by the all of the other Intel chips in this comparison in the Specview testing as well as the Vantage testing. The Q9300 performs better than the Phenom in all but three tests.
