Results - 3ds Max 8 (SP2)
In a newer rendering benchmark using Autodesk's 3ds Max 8, we used a common benchmarking workload, dragoncharacter.rig and rendered it using Light Tracer advanced lighting option. While it goes without saying that the newcomers are slower than the similarly priced Phenom X4 9650 and 9550 parts, this is one of the few programs where quad-core processors show their usefulness and both the energy efficient AMD processors are faster than the Phenom X3 8750.
The results are also better than those of the higher clocked dual-core Intel processors and that's good news for the Phenom X4 9350e and 9150e CPUs. Now if only more workloads are of this caliber, AMD might have a better chance to give Intel some competition, but as expected, dollar-for-dollar, the Core 2 Quad Q6600 is still a much speedier option at the expense of higher power consumption. So it's a close call in terms of tradeoff between characteristics of the processors and what one wants to achieve.
