Benchmarks III
UT2003's Demo (build 2206) next. Just the flyby section is considered here.
Almost 5% here too. You'll end up paying a hefty premium for no more than a 5% performance gain. Perhaps Intel just want to unequivocally have the fastest desktop processor around. A big 3.2GHz sticker is sure to pull in the punters at, say, PC World.
Quake III rounds it off.
It started first, it finished first. That seems to be Intel's aim, we reckon. Our benchmarks have shown that it is arguably faster than AMD's XP3200 CPU. Faster doesn't mean that it stomps all over it from a mighty height. Rather, the performance difference between the two is rarely more than 10%, if that.
