AMD Athlon64 4000+ Socket 939 Processor Review
AMD Athlon64 4000+ Socket 939 Processor Review - PCSTATS
The Athlon 64 4000+ is not clocked faster than its nearest predecessor, but that doesn't preclude it from obtaining a healthy boost in the benchmarks thanks to 1MB L2 Cache.

Benchmarks: UT2003 and 2004

Unreal Tournament 2003

Source: Epic

Unreal Tournament 2003 is the sequel to 1999's multiple 'Game of the Year' award winner. It uses the very latest Unreal Engine technology - where graphics, sound and game play are taken beyond the bleeding edge. Unreal Tournament 2003 employs the use of Vertex as well as Pixel Shaders and it's recommended that you use a DirectX 8 videocard to get the most out of the game.

Athlon64 4000+ @ 2.72 GHz (VIA) 122.21

In Unreal Tournament 2003, we see what you might already have been anticipating.... The results are tangible, but not particularly impressive over that of the Athlon64 3800+. The VIA chipset seems to hold a slight advantage over the Nvidia NF3, and overclocking reaps substantial benefits!

Unreal Tournament 2004

Unreal Tournament 2004 is the sequel to the highly popular UT2003 and uses the very latest Unreal Engine technology. Unreal Tournament 2004 employs the use of Vertex and Pixel Shaders and it's recommended that you use a DirectX 9 videocard to you plan to play competitively.

Athlon64 4000+ (VIA) 163.97
Athlon64 4000+ @ 2.72 GHz (VIA) 170.96

The newest Unreal Engine can put a hurting on CPUs, so we were pleased to see the Athlon64 4000+ respond to the challenge with gusto. All the results were as you'd expect here, with the Athlon64 4000+ platforms holding a slight edge over the Athlon64 3800+ chip (due to the boost provided by the extra level 2 cache memory). Intel's Pentium 4 540 brings up the rear in this gaming benchmark.
