Sistema di prova e benchmark

Riportiamo qui di seguito le due configurazioni:

Sistema Intel AMD CPU Core i7 920 @ 3.8 GHz (190 MHz x 20) Phenom II X4 940 @ 3.64 GHz (202 MHz x 18) Dissipatore Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme Ajigo MF091 Motherboard Asus Rampage II Extreme Asus M3A78-T RAM Corsair 6 GB Dominator DDR3-1600 CAS 8 Corsair 4 GB Dominator DDR2-1066 CAS 5 Scheda grafica AMD Radeon HD 4870 X2 (8.12 special) AMD Radeon HD 4870 X2 (8.12 special) Hard Disk Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 250 GB Intel 80 GB MLC SSD Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 250 GB Intel 80 GB MLC SSD Audio Integrata Integrata Rete Integrata Integrata Alimentatore Cooler Master UCP 1100W Cooler Master UCP 1100W Drive ottico Lite-On DH-4O1S Lite-On DH-4O1S

Naturalmente, ci sono alcune differenze da considerare. Prima di tutto, la capacità della memoria: 4 GB contro 6 GB. In ogni caso, si tratta dei valori adeguati per questi sistemi, considerando le architetture.

Poi ci sono le discrepanze delle motherboard: una scheda Asus di fascia alta contro una mid-range della stessa marca.

Il processore Core i7 è stato impostato a 3.8 GHz, mentre il Phenom funzionava a 3.65 GHz, che rappresentano valori alla portata di tutti, non i massimi possibili.

Tutti i test sono stati effettuati con Windows Vista x64.
