Gaming
When running any benchmark in a gaming environment there is a point
where the Video Card's ability to process information affects the
actual benchmark results. At resolutions below 1024x768 the frame
rates generated are more dependent on the ability of the processor
as opposed to running the same benchmark at higher resolutions.
We have run our gaming benchmarks at 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768.
At these resolutions we will be able to see the effect the Barton
has in a gaming environment.
MadOnion's
3DMark 2001SE is an update to the original 3Dmark2001. 3DMark
has become the cornerstone of benchmarking for gamers. This intensive
direct 3D benchmark runs a video card through the paces but also
helps show the overall performance of your gaming rig.

3Dmark 2001 SE really gives us a look at the advantage of
having the larger L2 cache. Out scoring the AthlonXP 2400+ by 382
points while running in the 133 FSB configurations. When in its
default configuration the Barton out scores the AthlonXP 2400+ by
866. Not to shabby again considering that there is only a 77Mhz
difference between the two processors. If you live and die by this
benchmark alone the Barton is a gamers dream come true. But we have
found that even as good as 3Dmark 2001 SE is at showing a systems
performance it takes more than one benchmark to gauge performance.
AquaMark tests the effectiveness of the video card of the
user's computer under real world conditions. This means that AquaMark
is not a demo-benchmark, as it contains a fully working game engine.
AquaMark has been optimized to compare DX8 on different video cards
and supports all necessary features such as vertexshader or pixelshader,
etc.

Once again the Barton leads the way at all three resolutions.
DroneZ is a unique benchmark. DroneZ incorporates the use
of Vertex and Pixel Shaders, which are responsible for some of the
most impressive examples of illumination and bump mapping found.
The graphics and visual effects are truly amazing.

WoW I have to say this was a real showstopper. Watching the Barton
crank out almost 300 FPS in a benchmark that is as intense as the
DroneZ benchmark is was really amazing. But you haven't seen anything
yet; keep reading as the overclocking section holds a few surprises.
UT2003
CPU Benchmark is a benchmark put together by the guys over
at [H]ard|OCP. This benchmark allows the user to test not only their
video cards performance but also the performance of their CPU as
well. Running UT2003 at 640x480 the benchmark does a fly by of the
level Inferno. Running at these low resolutions removes the video
card effects on frame rates and allows for a comparison of processors
abilities.

So what can you say the Barton wins again and at this point is anyone
really surprised?

Using our simple sea website templates on our site you can buy website templates Well I have to say looking at the results of the benchmarks has
been more than I could have hoped for. First off the 512k L2 cache
is making quite a difference even when the Barton is backed down
to the exact settings of the AthlonXP 2400+ processor. This head
to head comparison has shown the advantage of a larger cache. The
other thing that we have seen is that even though these two processors
are running with in 77Mhz of each other the Barton really is a monster.
It looks like there just may be something to the Dogma of AMD's
naming convention. The results are much larger than that of a 77Mhz
speed difference. AMD has them selves a rock solid processor with
great potential and this is only the beginning. So there you go
the Barton looks to be a real contender but this isn't the end of
our little story.
