Results - SYSmark 2007 Preview

Next, we finally see some results from the X4 810 in SYSmark 2007. Its overall rating was slightly less than the X4 920, though compared to the mainstream Q9300, there was some way to go. However, the X4 810 should have a better chance against the slower Q8200 that is its intended competitor in this segment. Our scores for the Q6600, which is nevertheless faster than the X4 810 should be an indication of where the Q8200 will probably roughly stand.

Meanwhile, the X3 720 was unable to compete against the dual-core Intel chips, with even the E8400 proving too fast for it. That is, until we looked at the breakdown in the scores, where the extra core on the X3 720 seemed to pay off. In video creation, the X3 was equal to the E8500 and slightly faster than the E8400 so that was one area where it could compete. For most other tasks however, expect the dual-cores Intel processors to be ahead.
