PC Mark 05 includes an extensive collection of application-based tests that video encoding, audio compression, 2D user interface tasks, 2D graphics memory access, web page rendering, file decryption and encryption, memory access and text editing.

Again a very close match, less than 1% disparity between the 2 systems.

We decided to test out the 3D Gaming performance of this workstation which sports an SLI setup. Although a Dual Opteron system is very rarely used for gaming, the hybrid status of it in a SFF and the SLI setup makes this a very possible scenario and viable option.

All tests were run at default image quality settings.

When you lay them down together this way, the 3.2GHz Intel platform easily wins out the 1.4GHz ZMax d2. Even though the ZMax sports 2 CPUs, only 1 is being utilised for these single threaded game tests.
