As you read on, you’ll find benchmark results for the new Athlon 64 X2 6000+, the 5600+, the 65 nm 5000+, and Intel’s Core 2 Extreme and Core 2 Duo family. However, we did not include many more processor models, in the interests of keeping the charts as easy to understand as possible. We do have a recommendation for you in case you are looking for broader benchmark comparison across more processor models : the best place to compare CPU performance is our Interactive CPU Charts service, which you can find here.
