Testing Methodology

In order to test the X3 720 and the X4 810, we are going to reuse several of our test results from the Phenom II 940 review.  In addition, we will be using an E8400 and the same X3360 to emulate the speeds of a Q8200 as closely as we can.  Both of these test bench setups are listed below:      

CPU: Intel Xeon x3360
Motherboard: Asus P5Q Deluxe P45
GPU: MSI GTX-280
RAM: 2x2GB Corsair Dominators, DDR2-1066 5-5-5-15
Case: Custom
Sound: X-Fi Platinum
Cooling: Tuniq Tower
PSU: Corsair 750TX
OS: Vista x64 Ultimate SP1

  

CPU: Intel Core2 Duo E8400
Motherboard: FoxConn BlackOps X48
GPU: Sappire Radeon 2600XT
RAM: 2x2GB OCZ Reaper DDR3-1333, 8-8-8-27
Case: Custom
Sound: Onboard
Cooling: Stock Intel
PSU: CoolerMaster UCP-700
OS: Vista x64 Ultimate SP1

In the case of the x3360, we clocked it down to 7x333 to run it at 2.33GHz in an attempt to best emulate the closest cost competitor to the X4 810.  The Q8200 has significantly less cache (4MB vs. 12MB)  than the x3360, however, so it is important to realize that the "emulated" testing of the x3360 represents the best possible scenario for the Q8200.

Now, let's get on with the results, shall we?
