21 & 22 Cinebench R10 released in 2006 is next. It supports up to 8 threads so dual cores are getting a good workout! Scaling is not 100% but rather in the high 80's! Both single core and multi-core scores are taking into account.

It seems that scaling is slightly better on the VIA board by 3%! Within the margin of error but nonetheless this is the second victory for AX8 after the one in the sound tests of 3dmark 2003!

23. Wprime 2.10 is a new addition to the test suite. It maxes out the 2 cores on the 4800. It works just fine on XP, meanwhile I could not get it to run on Windows 8.1. A shorter time constitutes a better result!

Both nforce4 and K8T890 are for all intents and purposes equals as they should be!

24. 7Zip 9.20 is another new addition! Also dual core aware, it scales in the low 80's.

A higher score is better! Again AX8 has a very small advantage over AN8: 2.5% is within the margin of error. There are, as of now, no instances where VIA manged to win decisively against NVIDIA!

I run wPrime on Win10 x64, it just needs to be "run as Admin" from context menu to work properly.

Alternative programs that can be run under XP : Cinebench 2003, R11.5 (should work under XP), SuperPI 1M + 32M (1M tests L2 more, 32M test IMC/RAM speed more).
