Benchmark Results: Productivity
3ds Max rendering times scale almost identically to the previously noted Mainconcept results, establishing somewhat of a trend towards Core i7 superiority.
We didn’t think AVG would have any preference for Core i7 architecture or scale appropriately to a larger number of cores, but this month’s results show otherwise.
WinRAR gets a big boost from the $5,000 system’s Core i7 processor, while Winzip scaling is more frequency-oriented.
