Gaming Performance
Whatever is on most men's minds when talking about processors is not necessarily related to content creation but rather to gaming performance. For starters, let's take a look at the some of the classics first, starting with MadOnion and Futuremark.
Here is where the Athlon64 begins to show its true nature.
It's a very close call between the P3 3.2GHz and the Athlon64 3200+
In the first CPU benchmark, the A64 outperforms the P4 at the same rating
With increasing complexity of the setup, the A64 falls back and comes in behind the Dual channel XP3200+. Another case of bandwidth starvation, very similar to the Athlon XP3200 in single channel vs. dual channel mode.
