Thanks for all who plays the game…

Results with Mental Ray stand alone are very closed…

Strange results are ITALIC

!!!! ONLY FOR SMP !!!!

As we see, for Rendering with Mental Ray and Maya, Hyperthreading must be disable with Dual Processeur (Xeon) or Dual-Core (Pentium D 840EE).

For an every day workflow or workstation I suggest to let the HT enable. For renderfarm turn it OFF.

!!!! ONLY FOR SMP !!!!

L2 cache is per core.

Northwood & Prestonia are better than Prescott & Nocona…Due to shortest pipeline on Northwood and Prestonia...

Here is an old test’s results for Mental Ray for Maya 6.01
