AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE

SiSoftware
 
SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility capable of benchmarking the performance of individual components inside a PC. Each of the benchmarks below were run a total of five times with the highest and lowest scores being discarded and an average being calculated from the remaining three.
 
 
 
SuperPI
 
SuperPI is the benchmark of choice for many overclockers. It’s lightweight to download and can give a quick indication on how good a system is at number crunching. It should be noted that while the application is fantastic as a measure of a processor’s performance compared to another processor of the same product family, it is known to be a mediocre choice of application to compare processors between different product families and brands. Also note that SuperPi is a single threaded application.
 
Once again, testing was performed a total of 5 times, with an average being calculated from the middle three results.
 
 
 
 
PassMark Software
 
PassMark is a popular benchmarking suite which test all aspect of PC hardware.The CPU test examines Mathematical operations, compression, encryption, SSE, 3DNow! instructions and more. Each CPU test was performed a total of 5 times, with an average being calculated from the middle three results.
 
 
Result Analysis
 
As we can see, the higher default clock speed of the 965 gives it an advantage in the CPU benchmarks. The i7 920 is still faster in all of these benchmarks, despite it’s slower clock. The hyperthreading technology obviously does it’s job here.
