3dsmax 9 - SPECapc 3dsmax CPU Rendering Test
Today's desktop processors are more than fast enough to do professional level 3D rendering at home. To look at performance under 3dsmax we ran the SPECapc 3dsmax 8 benchmark (only the CPU rendering tests) under 3dsmax 9 SP1. The results reported are the rendering composite scores:
Even 3D rendering performance under 3dsmax 9 is quite competitive. Both the 955 and 940 are able to hang with the Q9400 and Q9550. Once again, the i7s hold a generational gap advantage in performance.
Cinebench R10
Created by the Cinema 4D folks we have Cinebench, a popular 3D rendering benchmark that gives us both single and multi-threaded 3D rendering results.
Single or multi-threaded, the 955 is faster than the Q9550 here. But if you're serious about 3D rendering you'll want the Core i7.
POV-Ray 3.73 beta 23 Ray Tracing Performance
POV-Ray is a popular, open-source raytracing application that also doubles as a great tool to measure CPU floating point performance.
I ran the SMP benchmark in beta 23 of POV-Ray 3.73. The numbers reported are the final score in pixels per second.

Many online reviews written by the computer hardware. Regard it as the person seeking advice testdrives Ferrari to life when you want to buy a car for your daily needs of commuting, and he might start telling you how bad the Toyota Prius, regardless of cost or requirement. In the world of processors, this is BMW's very good that you managed to buy a very cheap price.bckolte - Wednesday, December 7, 2011 - link
i m using AMD 955 Balack Edition with Asus MotherBoard M5A78MLX is that mother board is compatible with the processor or notbecouse with this combination i got an error on bootup the system
THE CPU IS NOT SUPPORTED TO THIS PRODUCT TO DETAIL GO TO WEB SITE ASUS.COM
Now sir Help Me Or Guied me is that Motherboard is supported for AMD Pheonem 955 II Processor wht do i do with the error its a serious thing for the system or i have to ignore it

I'm guessing that he is showing the processor's actual speed during the test. The 2.8GHz speed likely is due to the i7's native ability to overclock itself via Turbo Mode (see page 4 of the article). Turbo mode tends to activate pretty much any time a load is on the CPU. But it's not really "unfair" as all i7 users get that benefit without doing anything extra, plus i7 chips still overclock far beyond that point. http://www.freeinstafollowers.info/Kickzing - Thursday, March 23, 2017 - link
AMD is really good and I really like how they run cooler than Intel. It's helped me to build my website http://getfreeinstagramfollowersteam.com so thanks AMD!
