Hey guys I have been running benchmarks on and off for the last couple days to test out my old Phenom II Against my new 8320. Mainly out of complete boredom
. The programs I am benchmarking are Cinebench 11.5, 3dmark Firestrike physics, and a variety of games. Tomb raider, Hitman: absolution, Crysis 2, Far Cry 2, and Total war: Shogun 2. Any thoughts? Will this give a good sense of how well it will perform? Im also running tests both stock and OC'd as far as I can get both chips stable.
Well I finally got around to updating the thread with the results on the first page so here ya go!








*note: I did not run the Phenom x6 tests, those Cinebench results were run by other members of the forum who sent me screen shots. They have different Ram, MOBO's, and OC'd northbridges etc. I just added them for the heck of it.
My final conclusion is that while clock-for-clock FX does still lag behind the old 45nm architecture, the power improvements that allow much higher overclocks and increased core count easily overcome this deficiency even in older games. I can only draw this conclusion based on quad core phenom II though, I don't have any gaming numbers on the hexa core.
