We decoded an 11 minute deleted scene from a DVD into QuickTime format for playing on iPods. Phenom II is again on top out of all these processors and 55 seconds faster than the Phenom 9950.

Valve particle benchmark tests how well processors handle rendering tons of particles on screen with multiple processors. Things tend to even out here a bit but Phenom II 940 is on top and the 9950 at the bottom.

Valve Map creation renders a Valve map and once more Phenom II 940 is the quickest though things are somewhat close with the Q9300 processor.

World in Conflict is a popular real-time strategy game with an intense engine. Even at only medium settings the graphics card is more so the bottle neck here as things even out though Phenom II is yet again the fastest if only by 3fps. Pushing the resolution and graphics settings which we didn't in our gaming tests would only even things our more unless you have an incredibly powerful video card.

In Cinebench 10 the Phenom II 940 blows away all other processors finishing rendering ten seconds before the Intel Q9300.

No change here in Pov-RAY 3.7 either as the Phenom II 940 proves it's clearly capable of taking on Penryn.
