Now the core 2 duo e6300 is the mid range core 2 duo and the sempron 3400+ is the mid range sempron. Now this benchmark is multi threaded which means it can utilize multiple cores if a computer has them. Now the core 2 duo scores 4794. And the sempron scores 2601. Now in that benchmark which is multi threaded and evevn with mutiple cores being utilized in the bechmark the core 2 duo is not even 2 times faster then the sempron. Because 4794 divided by 2601 equals 1.84. So then the core 2 duo isn't much faster then a sempron afterall is it. So that means if they were both encoding a video and if the duo core encoded it in 200 seconds then the sempron would take 360 seconds. Which is not a big performance increase at all.
