Hyper-Threading technology has been the Nehalem architecture core processor's focus from the low-end core i3 to mid core i5 (32nm Duo) to high-end core I7, all with Hyper-Threading technology as a selling point.
Of course, in this hyper-threading performance controversy also has not been broken, the website also had their own quad-core Intel processor and core i3 processor comparison test (details may refer to: logic PK physical core i3 on Q8300 multithreaded test ), but about AMD's native quad-core and core i3 between application testing has been conducted. Today we start from the application side, by contrast to take a look at what is native quad-core or hyper-threading technology virtual quad.This test we use current market's hottest quad-core AMD Athlon II 640, Athlon II three nuclear 440 and Intel Core i3 530, Pentium dual-core G6950 as test objects.
Including Athlon II Quad 640 and core i3 530 into four physical multi-core/4 thread impersonation multi-core test comparison project, Athlon II triple-core Pentium G6950 440 and for the processor properties reference. All tests are in everyday use and games as a script. To the application client for you from finding the most suitable for you of a product.Before the test begins, we first introduce this test 4 processors.
This test of all four products have a common characteristic, they are positioned in the $ 800 level following the low-end product, the Athlon II triple-core Pentium G6950 440 and even $ 500 entry below. Currently boxed Athlon II Quad 640 market price $ 670, boxed Athlon II three nuclear 440 market prices to $ 470. And boxed core i3 530 processor market at a price of $ 740, boxed Pentium G6950 price $ 590. Presumably this test and the previous high-end product tests compared to most closely to the ordinary consumers.

This participation in the evaluation of two AMD processor quad II for Athlon 64 and Athlon II three nuclear 440, 45nm technology products are the K10 micro-architecture.
Two processors in addition to the number of cores are the same for different external parameters. 3GHz clock speed, 2 MB L2 cache, FSB, 200MHz 15X multiplier.

Reference measurement of two Intel processors are currently on the market in the more popular core i3 530 and Pentium G6950.
One core i3 530 processor is a dual-core four threads, 4MB L3 cache, 1 GHz, Pentium G6950 2.93GHz as duo double thread, 3 MB L3 cache, 2.8GHz clock speed. Two processors with integrated chip for LGA1156 interface products.
