3d Studio Max 7
For 3D-studio max we used a rendering via the 3Ds internal engine (scanline). Developed by Studio PC this scene mainly uses radiosity. The result is more realistic in terms of lighting and is also slower. 80% of this scene is based on this type of effect.
The Core 2 Duo already shows its power because it is at the same level as the fastest Pentium and Athlon 64 FX and this from the E6400. In the end, the most efficient Core 2 Duo configuration is 38% faster than AMD and Intel´s existing solutions!
Compared to the Core Duo, the Core 2 Duo brings a performance gain of 8-10% at equivalent frequencies.
Maya 6
We used a scene developed by Yann Dupont of 3DVF (whom we thank for its use) rendered via Mental Ray.
As Hyperthreading has a negative impact on performances with Maya, for Pentiums the 960 is in the lead. The Core 2 Duo is much faster and is in front starting with the E6300 at only 1.86 GHz. The resistance is much stronger than under 3ds for AMD because you need a E6700 to reach the performances of a FX-62…but the Core 2 Duo is announced as being half the price of this FX!
The advantage of the X6800 is of 71% compared to the Pentium EE 965 and 15.4% compared to the FX-62.
