SiSoft Sandra is a standard for many end users/builders to compare their systems to others. These benchmarks are quoted on every website you find and are almost the cornerstone of bragging rights. Looking at this first round of results you can see that the Barton running at 133 FSB edges out the AthlonXP 2400+ in all three Sandra results. The larger L2 Cache is showing its value in all three benchmarks. Something else to remember is that there is only 77 Mhz separating these processors at default settings. The Barton is really showing some muscle as it completely crushes the AthlonXP 2400+ when run at Default settings.

Business Winstone 2001 ver 1.01 is another system-level, application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall performance. Business Winstone 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.

The Barton again shows its worth in this everyday business application benchmark. The value of the 512k L2 cache allows the Barton running at 133 FSB to out score the AthlonXP 2400+ by 3.1 points. In its default setup the Barton out scores the AthlonXP2400+ by 7.1 points. The Barton certainly makes itself at home while running the Business Winstone benchmark.

SPECviewperf 6.1.2 parses command lines and data files, sets the rendering state, and converts data sets to a format that can be traversed usingL rendering calls. It renders the data set for a pre-specified amount of time or number of frames with animation between frames. Finally, it outputs the result. SPECviewperf reports performance in frames per second. In this benchmark, higher numbers are better.

The results of this benchmark are close across the board. Highly dependent on a video cards ability to render the images you can see the effect the Barton has in each of these benchmarks. Again both of these processors are separated by only 77Mhz while running their default configurations.

CLI Bench MK III SMP is as stated on the web page, a different benchmarking solution. This benchmark runs a gamut of synthetic benchmarks that includes: Dhrystones, Whetstones, Eight queens' problem, Matrix operations, Number Crunching, Floating point, memory throughput, hard disk's throughput and the CPU usage.

Well look at that both the Barton and AthlonXP 2400+ processors score identical in all six tests while running at 133 Mhz FSB. Obviously the 512k L2 Cache isn't really helping the Barton out here. Now look at the difference the 166 MHz FSB makes in the test results. Again the Barton is giving us a look at its real power.

Cinebench 2000 is another benchmarking program that uses ray tracing to test the CPU for performance. This benchmark also supports SMP as evident in the multiple CPU ray tracing result.

Much like the Specviewperf benchmark the Cinebench benchmark is dependent on the Video Cards ability to render the information being fed to it. This benchmark does give us a glimpse of the advantages the Barton has over the AthlonXP 2400+ in either configuration. Again the L2 cache is helping things along.

Science Mark 1.0 will measure the performance of your computer by the execution of a few tests, including the simulation of liquid argon, energy calculation of H2O, and the like. When comparing the three tests, smaller numbers are better.

Science Mark is a pure processor benchmark, as the video card has no effect on the DOS window these benchmarks run in. Each of these is a complete calculation handled by the processor. Again the Barton does well against the AthlonXP 2400+. Oh did you notice the last result seems backwards? Well it's not. In this last comparison bigger is better. The score is a result of a comparison to a base system, which has a final score of 100.

So there you go a full round of Business and Software benchmarks showing the Barton is packing quite a punch with its 166 Mhz FSB and 512k L2 cache. The larger L2 cache is definitely helping the Barton push the numbers in these benchmarks to new heights in Business applications. Now with that out of the way it's time to look at the Barton in a different environment. You know what they say "All work and NO play…" So let's take the Barton for a run through a couple benchmarks and see how it handles some gaming.
