PAR2 Multithreaded Archive Recovery Performance
Par2 is an application used for reconstructing downloaded archives. It can generate parity data from a given archive and later use it to recover the archive
Chuchusoft took the source code of par2cmdline 0.4 and parallelized it using Intel’s Threading Building Blocks 2.1. The result is a version of par2cmdline that can spawn multiple threads to repair par2 archives. For this test we took a 708MB archive, corrupted nearly 60MB of it, and used the multithreaded par2cmdline to recover it. The scores reported are the repair and recover time in seconds.
Microsoft Excel 2007
Excel can be a very powerful mathematical tool. In this benchmark we're running a Monte Carlo simulation on a very large spreadsheet of stock pricing data.
Sony Vegas Pro 8: Blu-ray Disc Creation
Although technically a test simulating the creation of a Blu-ray disc, the majority of the time in our Sony Vegas Pro benchmark is spend encoding the 25Mbps MPEG-2 video stream and not actually creating the Blu-ray disc itself.
Sorenson Squeeze: FLV Creation
Another video related benchmark, we're using Sorenson Squeeze to convert regular videos into Flash videos for use on websites.
WinRAR - Archive Creation
Our WinRAR test simply takes 300MB of files and compresses them into a single RAR archive using the application's default settings. We're not doing anything exotic here, just looking at the impact of CPU performance on creating an archive:

A good article. GF9300 has a TDP of 12W. So combined with 8W Atom 330, and 80-90% efficient power supply, gives you the 25W load power figure you see which is phenomenal.(Not to be confused with the brand name from AMD that stands for Opteron rejects)Let me ask you, Anand, a question: just what the fuck is Johan doing these days pumping Quad Socket 8393SE(you can assume the 137W TDP Istanbuls when they come out too) against Nehalem Xeon X5570? One of them is a $10,000 set of CPUs, and the other is $3,000 worth of CPUs let alone (137W*4 power consumption vs 95W*2 on the Xeons) Besides that, now that the fucker is trying to invalidate VMmark. What a Belgian joke.

You're quite the asshole, arent you?AshleyComputer - Wednesday, July 21, 2010 - link
ION have different, use MCP79 or MCP7A,can do GF9400+Atom 330, GF9400+Atom 230; or GF9300+Atom 330, or GF9300+Atom 230.
