Overclocked Gaming Performance

Despite eeking out a solid 4GHz the overclocked performance in games is lower than the competition, although only slightly, so you'd be hard pushed to tell the difference.

Image Editing, Video Encoding and Multitasking

Real world applications benchmarks such as the ones below are a great way to see the benefits an overclock provides for everyday PC use. Some motherboards respond better than others when overclocking even their CPUs are clocked at the same speeds and in the gaming performance tests we found that the Renaissance was a particularly happy bunny when overclocked.




Overall we'd have to say the performance is very good, as the Gene either hits the top of the table or only a second or so from it in every test, so while gaming is slightly slower, application performance is solid.
