Cyberpower’s Gamer Dragon: Can AMD Bring The Game?

Media Encoding And Rendering Benchmarks

In audio encoding applications, the overclocked Phenom II can’t even keep up with the stock Core i7-920.

The story is the same when it comes to video encoding. The overclocked Phenom II X4 955 comes close to the stock Core i7-920, but when the Intel CPU is overclocked, it isn’t even a contest.

In 3ds Max, the Cyberpower Gamer Dragon places well, but is still no match for the stock Core i7-920, never mind the overclocked version.
