PCMark Vantage x64
Publisher: Futuremark
PCMark Vantage x64 is a Vista-only 64-bit productivity benchmark that tests a range of standard application types providing a general performance number in respect to other systems.
It tests multi-core processors and requires a processor with at least SSE2 support and a graphics card that supports Shader Model 2.0 or higher.
There are test scenarios for High Definition TV and Movies, Gaming, Memory, Music, Communications, Internet, General Productivity and Hard Drive. They cover the broad range of typical software a PC user will use and acts as a good "one stop" benchmark for general system performance.

In terms of CPU value the overclocked Core i7 920 tops the tables like we've come to expect but the AMD is hot on its heels. When we look at a relative platform : performance comparison though the AMD's win simply because their cheaper motherboard and DDR2 memory means it gives better value.
The Core i7's tend to be negative in PCMark, compared to the baseline performance value, just like most of the Core 2 CPUs - the increase in prices are clearly not reflected in a proportionately more positive overall PCMark score.
