Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition 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, which is used to calculate how objects interact. For example, if you shoot, what exactly will happen to the object when the bullet hits it? Will it break? Will it move? Will the bullet bounce back? It gives a more realistic experience to the user.

We ran this game under 2560×1600, maxing out all image quality controls (i.e., everything was put on the maximum values on the Graphics and Texture menus). We used the game internal benchmarking feature, running a demo provided by NVID
IA called “wetwork.” We are putting this demo for downloading here if you want to run your own benchmarks. 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).

The new Phenom II X6 1100T (3.3 GHz) achieved the same performance level of the Phenom II X6 1075T (3.0 GHz). All other CPUs were between 4% and 19% faster. For example, the Phenom II X4 970 (3.5 GHz) was 13% faster and the Core i5-750 (2.66 GHz) faster than the reviewed CPU.
