A selection of desktop based hardware tests including Futuremark's PCMark05, SuperPi, Cinebench and the x264 HD benchmark.
PCMark05 up first measuring general desktop performance with a scattering of graphical tests for completeness.

The impressive stock clock on the Phenom II 1100T Black Edition pushed the chip right up the table to start off with. That great performance only improves when the chip is clocked to 4GHz.
SuperPi is next and illustrates the benefits brought by increases in CPU and memory speeds.

As seen in previous AMD reviews core count makes virtually no impact on results. Here the core speed of the CPU is what counts and the results pretty much follow the pattern 'increased clockspeed = lower time'. I included the successful run at the not 100% stable 4.2GHz clock to show the improvement available once that clockspeed was stabilised.
