HP D300 manual 3D WinBench 2000 Processor Test

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.

3D WinBench 2000 – Processor Test

3D WinBench 2000 measures system–level 3D performance, including CPU and graphics subsystem. To understand the processor 3D performance, this benchmark suite includes the Processor Test which measures the CPU-intensive portion of the 3D graphics pipeline – geometry and setup stage.
