eTestingLabs have had a series of Winstones and Winbenches since the beginnings of 32 bit operating systems. The goal is usually to take the most popular applications and combine them into a benchmark suite. In the early days, applications would run sequentially, now we are talking about multitasking, that is everything is trying to run at the same time and even though some of this stuff is bottomline esoteric, well, it is another benchmark so let's do it.

Content Creation Winstone 2001
Content Creation Winstone2001 generates a single score. The 2001 vintage of CCWS is supposed to be biased towards AMD processors, so let's take a look at this years version allegedly biased towards Intel CPUs

Vase Benchmark
2002 is different from 2001, very different and Content Creation is able to prove it. Intel's P4 takes the lead again which is only fair.

Other Benchmarks

There are hundreds of benchmarks out there, from Tirtanium to FinalReality and Sysmark to Serious Sam. Some benches like Serious Sam give better scores with the AMD processors, others like Sysmark2002 show the P4 as the absolutlely superior processor. Then there are OfficeBench, MahJongg and Solitaire next to MineSweeper, Unreal Tournament, PovRay and 990 more. It is impossible to show them all. It is irrelevant to show them all since we are talking about the fasted paced industry in the world where today's flagship is going to be obsolete in 6 months.
