Digitlife introduces us to their new Procedure for testing Processor performance. The Procedure allows Digitlife to tests six dual Core processors including the Pentium D 805. They divide their scores into professional and home and give an overall score. The FX60 still remains on top with the Pentium D 805 last. The end of the single core is nigh.

What concerns the results on diagrams, we have already mentioned above that they illustrate properties and preferences of the new test procedure rather than anything interesting in themselves. All processors that took part in our tests, except for two models (Pentium D 805 and Pentium XE 965), are well known to our readers by our previous tests. And the new models offer no surprises, they are simple and predictable. But of course, that was not done for nothing. In our opinion, we'll need all these results - for other articles with more interesting new processors. The fact that there is just one AMD processor is also natural: Athlon 64 FX-60 embodies achievements of state-of-the-art multicore x86 CPUs, it's the current leader. FX-60 is the fastest dual core processor among the existing models - according to our old and new tests. It seems to symbolize a close link between our test procedure and the real state of affairs on the CPU market and confirms that our test results are adequate ;).
