Figure 2: Comparison of Pentium III with Pentium 4 in SYSmark 2001 Benchmark Tests
Figure 2 clearly illustrates the Pentium 4 performance advantages over Pentium III. It is also clear that performance gains in the Office Productivity workload are less dramatic when compared to Internet Content Creation workload. In the Internet Content Creation workload, where the typical workload is streamed in nature (Windows Media Encode for example), the application tends to have branches that are very predictable resulting in performance that scales very well with frequency and benefits greatly from the new architecture of the Pentium 4.
