This new
accurate diagnostic tool, designed for DirectX9.0, provides you with all the
information you need to make informed hardware assessments. Havok Total
real-time physics library from Havok - these routines are used to accurately
model the movements of objects due to forces, etc. FMOD sound library from
Firelight Technologies - these are used for the various sound effects and
routines used in the tests. Graphics adapter analysis software from Powerstrip
of Entech Taiwan - this is used to correctly determine the speeds of the
graphics processing and video memory chips, plus supply additional hardware
information. Higher 3DMark03 scores denote better performance.

Futuremark's synthetic graphics test reflects the same
results as PCMark04; mainly, Prescott beats out Northwood by a very narrow
margin, and all of the Pentium 4 processors outrun AMD's lineup. The situation
changes in the raw processor benchmark, however.

AMD's
Athlon 64 FX-51 takes a first-place finish, followed by the Athlon 64 3400+.
Intel's 3.2GHz Pentium 4 Extreme Edition takes third, the Athlon 64 3200+
clenches fourth, and the Prescott comes in fifth.

Sandra is designed to test the
theoretical power of a complete system and individual components. The numbers
taken though are again, purely theoretical and may not represent real world
performance. Higher numbers represent better performance.

Maybe
it's because SiSoft Sandra 2004 wasn't compiled explicitly with Prescott in
mind, but SiSoftware's latest synthetic benchmark doesn't paint the new core in
a good light at all. First, Northwood beats it in the arithmetic tests by about
12 percent. It goes on to lose the multimedia test as well, losing to both the
Northwood and Gallatin cores. AMD's Athlon 64 has never done well in the Sandra
processor tests, a trend that continues here, but the Athlon 64 FX's integrated
memory controller really shines, nearly tipping the 6GB per second mark.
