This iTunes benchmark is single-threaded and favors high frequencies and efficient architectures, so the quad-core CPUs found in our $1300 SBM and M8 builds complete the task more quickly. Similarly, LAME MP3 shows that many desktop-oriented workloads still aren't optimized for workstation-class processors (though LAME can be threaded by running multiple transcodes simultaneously).


HandBrake and TotalCode Studio are optimized for multi-core processors, and bestow notable leads on the X700 and $2550 SBM PC.

HD 8XXX cards are rebranded 7XXX cards for OEMS to use for marketing, cause you know, uninformed Consumers love to think that larger number means better and that new products(despite not really being new) convinces them to buy it. an 8950 should be a rebranded 7950
