Benchmarks: Winstone, Winbench

Winstone 2001 Source: Zdnet

Content Creation Winstone 2001 keeps multiple applications open at once and switches among those applications. Content Creation Winstone 2001's activities focus on what we call "hot spots," periods of activity that make your PC really work--the times where you're likely to see an hourglass or a progress bar.

Business Winstone is a system-level, application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall performance when running today's Windows-based 32-bit applications on Windows 98 ME, Windows NT 4.0 (SP6 or later), Windows 2000, Windows Me, or Windows XP which runs real applications through a series of scripted activities and uses the time a PC takes to complete those activities to produce its performance scores.

Winstone 2001 Benchmark Results
Content Creation (FSB/Memory) Scores Ranking
1. 8K3A+ 133/333 MHz 75.1
2. KT4 Ultra 133/400 MHz 79.4
3. 8K5A2+ 133/333 MHz 74.5
4. 8K5A2+ 219/439 MHz 81.7

Business Winstone (FSB/Memory)

1 8K3A+ 133/333 MHz 51
2. KT4 Ultra 133/400 MHz 51.2
3. 8K5A2+ 133/333 MHz 51.6
2. 8K5A2+ 219/439 MHz 59.8

Like in SysMark2002, the motherboards perform about the same at the stock, only the KT4 Ultra (KT400) is faster. Overclocking here boost performance by a healthy margin as well.

Winbench 99 V1.2 Source: e-Testinglabs.com

WinBench 99 is a subsystem-level benchmark that measures the performance of a PC's graphics, disk, and video subsystems in a Windows environment. WinBench 99's tests can run on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows Me systems.

WinBench 99 v1.2 Benchmark Results
Epox 8K5A2+ Score Ranking
1. Business Disk - 133/333 MHz 6290
1a. Business Disk - 219/439 MHz 6310
2. High-End Disk - 133/333 MHz 15900
2a. High-End Disk - 219/439 MHz 18000
3. Business Graphics - 133/333 MHz 755
3a. Business Graphics - 219/439 MHz 843
4. High-End Graphics - 133/333 MHz 1350
4a. High-End Graphics - 219/439 MHz 1470

The Samsung Hard drive doesn't seem to like the Winbench HDD benchmarks and performs quite poorly here. AGP gets a nice boost with the added bandwidth of running at 219 MHz.
