It isn't very often something truly, 100% exclusive and drool-worthy drops into my mailbox here, but today just happens to be one of those days - I can now present to you what is (To my knowledge) the first benchmark of a desktop dual-core AMD processor! The test I have data for is CineBench 2003's CPU test, which is one of those rare benchmarks which can make use of multiple CPUs and thus shows a dual core part in its best light. For comparison, we can see how an Athlon64 X2 4800+ fares against a single core Athlon FX-53, as well as two Intel Extreme Edition Pentium parts, including the dual core 840 CPU.
