The Test Intel's Pentium 4 560 (3.6GHz) vs. the World


The Test - Intel's Pentium 4 560 (3.6GHz) vs. the World

In our internal comparison tests, we found that Intel's 925X motherboard performed within 0.5% of their 875P motherboard, meaning that we could compare Pentium 4 560 scores on the new 925X platform to our most recent CPU scores and get comparable results. So, we did just that.

We omitted gaming performance for now and we will focus on PCI Express gaming performance later on in this article, including a comparison to an Athlon 64 3400+.
