Intel Pentium D 805 - Dual Core on a Budget

Overall Performance using PC WorldBench 5

WorldBench is predominantly a single-threaded benchmark that tests mostly older versions of commonly used software. As such, it ends up being a very real world test of how many still use their PCs today.

With the vast majority of tests being single threaded, the Pentium D 805 can't catch a break, although on average it finds itself within about 3% of the Athlon 64 3000+. While it's still noticeably slower than the Athlon 64 X2 3800+, the performance isn't terrible for its price.
