BAPCo's SYSMark 2007 is one of our favorite computer performance evaluation benchmarking suites, because it uses real life applications to obtain real life results. From Photoshop to Microsoft Office, it has all of them covered. It is actually quite interesting to watch, too -- as you witness programs open and close by themselves, the tests automatically in the foreground. Although the Intel Core i5-750 would probably outperform the Core i3-2120 with Turbo Boost enabled, with all of them running at its specified frequencies, the i3-2120 -- minus two cores, no less -- performed exceptionally well; and slotted right between both tested processors.
