Distribution of the latest edition "N-Bench 3.0" of the benchmark software N-Bench which is individually developed by AMD Japan started last week at PC stores throughout Japan. While it appears to be possible to buy a CD version at ZOA Akihabaramain or Kakuba Sofmap shops and offices, these same stores have presented CD-ROM's of N-Bench to the buyers of CPU's above the Athlon XP 2700+. At present time - concurrent to the sighting - a web release has not started yet and the circumstance that AMD started with this CD-ROM only procurement of the software, let us assume that it might as well take some time for the world to be able to run N-Bench 3. As for N-Bench 3.0 adopting the new 3DCG engine which corresponds to DirectX 9.0 completely is a special feature. Graphic quality has improved substantially in comparison with its predecessor version: the aggressive scene of the ninja (one can enjoy the demonstration as at least parts of contents differ) and e.g. the scene where the car crosses the bridge. As for lowest hardware requirements: processors above Athlon/Pentium III 1GHz, Windows XP (necessity), DirectX 9.0 or above (necessity) as well as 128MB RAM (necessity) are inevitable. Next to the standard sale CD-ROM and the expected web release, there is a version which is called "premium edition", where the benchmark mode is identical to our information. PE is said to contain other features though. We have some pictures for you in the read more option.
