We make use of a multi-threaded Dhrystone test, which basically is a suite of arithmetic and string manipulating programs. Since the whole program should be really small, it fits into the processor cache. It can be used to measure two aspects, both the processor's speed as well as the optimizing capabilities of the compiler. The resulting number is the number of executions of the program suite per second.
First test and first impression, not bad, the GA-X48-DQ6 is colored yellow.
Throughout the review we also included a Phenom X4 9850 (GF8200A mainboard chipset), a low spec Athlon X2 4850 processor to be able to show some scaling, and a comparative performing DDR2 nForce 680i platform with again a Q6600 processor.
ZLib CPU test
This integer benchmark measures combined CPU and memory subsystem performance through the public ZLib compression library Version 1.2.2
CPU ZLib test uses only the basic x86 instructions, and it is HyperThreading, multi-processor (SMP) and multi-core (CMP) aware. Again a very good test to measure multi-core performance among platforms.
