Let's see how well the synthetic performance figures translate into actual application usage. The archiving test was performed on a large 1GB folder containing a random mix of small and large, compressible and incompressible files. The MP3 encoding test was performed using MediaMonkey 2.4 to encode the entire second disc of the Ghost in the Shell : Standalone Complex soundtrack at the Insane quality setting (320Kbps CBR). Finally, the DiVX encoding test was performed using Gordian Knot 0.28.8 and the DiVX Pro 5.2.1 CODEC to encode the intro sequence of a Ghost in the Shell : Standalone Complex episode.
The same trend as before is observed, with the Sempron 3400+ providing satisfactory performance at stock speed and darned near demolishing the competition once overclocked.
