I wanted to get a good feel for the performance of the Athlon. I ran a large number of popular benchmarks, whose results are reported in this review. Please note, most of these benchmarks are what I´ve been running for my other reviews, so you can compare the results shown in the different reviews (and articles) on my site.

All benchmarks are run with VSync disabled; current systems and high end video cards are so fast that you cannot judge performance if you leave VSync on - all systems would score the same!
