A8-3850 vs. Core i3-2100 CPU Review

Call of Duty 4

Call of Duty 4 is a DirectX 9 game implementing high-dynamic range (HDR) and its own physics engine. We ran this game at 1440×900 with all image quality settings at their maximum values. We used t
he game internal benchmarking feature, running a demo provided by NVIDIA called wetwork. We are putting this demo for downloading here if you want to run your own benchmarking. The game was updated to version 1.7. We ran this test five times, discarding the lowest and the highest scores. The results below are an arithmetic average of the three remaining values, given in frames per second (FPS).

We ran this game twice with each CPU. First, we used the CPU integrated graphics. Then we added a GeForce GT 430 video card, which is an entry-level DirectX 11 video card.

The integrated graphics processor of the A8-3850 was 38% faster than the one from the Core i3-2100. A GeForce GT 430 proved to be 30% faster than the integrated graphics of the A8-3850 on this game, while the same video card proved to be 71% faster than the integrated video of the Core i3-2100.
