As you can see the Pentium 3,06 GHz outnumbers anything in it's path, make no misstake though ... the Athlon is a truly powerful CPU at a way lower core frequency.
Next we'll go into a series of gaming related benchmarks after that we'll do some more synthetic testing with Gamers Benchmarks and games. First up, 3D Mark 2001 SE Pro.
In the next pages logic assumes that you need to take a look at the highest resolution tested versus the score. This however is not the case.
The CPU's used are faster than a graphics card can handle. So in the highest resolutions you'll notice not much difference in the results. This is the videocards bottleneck as it can't push any harder. What you need to monitor are the lowest resolutions as the videocard is not limited in raw power or memory bandwidth. I know this may sound a bit weird but the Radeon 9700 Pro that we used is actually a limiting factor for the CPU in the highest resolutions. Bare that in mind as we try to demonstrate the power of the CPU and not the graphics card.
