Synthetic Benchmarks

3DMark 06 @ 3.33Ghz

3DMark 06 is getting older these days. Therefore if you are using really powerful graphic cards you will hit CPU limitation which means that the graphic card isn't the bottleneck in the system. This is also the reason why in recent high-end desktop systems 3DMark 06 scales nicely with the CPU and the graphic card has much less influence on the scores.

3DMark06 Total	Score	Percent
AMD Leo Platform (Phenom II X6 1090T, Radeon 5870)	18'909	101.78 %
Intel / Nvidia Platform (Core i7 920, GTX 470)	18'578	100.00 %
	more is better

3DMark06 CPU Score	Score	Percent
AMD Leo Platform (Phenom II X6 1090T, Radeon 5870)	5'677	113.29 %
Intel / Nvidia Platform (Core i7 920, GTX 470)	5'011	100.00 %
	more is better

Regarding total score as well as CPU score AMD profits of the higher clock rates compared to the Intel derivat. Especially the CPU test shows this.

3DMark Vantage

3DMark Vantage is able to squeeze nearly everything out of a recent system. Therefore the feature liste is also pretty long: DirectX10, FP16-HDR, motion blur, parallax occlusion mapping, GPU-physics simulation and different shader effects are being used to even make recent high-end systems struggle.

3DMark Vantage	Score	Percent
AMD Leo Platform (Phenom II X6 1090T, Radeon 5870)	16'473	113.35 %
Intel / Nvidia Platform (Core i7 920, GTX 470)	14'533	100.00 %
	more is better

3DMark06 CPU	Score	Percent
Intel / Nvidia Platform (Core i7 920, GTX 470)	17'569	107.07 %
AMD Leo Platform (Phenom II X6 1090T, Radeon 5870)	16'409	100.00%
	more is better

In Futuremark Vantage things look quite a bit different. The AMD platform dominates the total score because of the graphics card which is able to perform better with this specific benchmark but the CPU score is higher on the Intel Core i7 920 which benefits from the the way Futuremark Vantage is programmed with its support for eight threads.
