Multi Core  Benchmarks – Multi Core  The benchmarks were run on
the QX9650 and E6850 with multi core enabled, this means though
that benchmarks which benefit from the extra cores on the QX9650
you will see a large difference, but not all benchmarks support
multiple cores, and thus the advantage of the QX is lost.  First
up we compare the raw CPU performance with PiFast,SuperPi and
Wprime:  Madshrimps (c)  PiFast and SuperPi take no advantage of
the extra cores on the QX9650, but the extra L2 cache does pay
off, SuperPi 1M improves by ~12%, 32M sees less effect, only
~3%; PiFast even less at only ~1%. Wprime does support multi
core, the quick calculation of Wprime 32M is ~53% faster on the
Quad Core QX9650, the longer Wprime 1024M also improves by the
same amount.  Moving on the synthetic benchmarks of Sisoft

double, the Multimed
