Results - 3ds Max 8 (SP2)

Using Autodesk's 3ds Max 8 rendering program, we ran the same test load by rendering it using Light Tracer and Radiosity advanced lighting options. On utilizing the Light Tracer rendering option, the Core i7-920 was still leading by quite a margin, but the Phenom II X4 955 scored the same result as the Core 2 Quad 9550.

What surprised us more was of using the Radiosity lighting render option, which formerly gave the Phenom II processors (AM2+) nasty results but the Phenom II X4 955 on the new platform managed this workload with flying colors as it came out speedier than the Core 2 Quad processors and more crucially the Core i7-920 (which if you recall has the turbo option enabled).
