In Sysmark2000, the difference to top contenders is a little crasser and it takes some overclocking to reach the 200 points border.
| Setting | Clock Speed | Internet Content Creation | Office Productivity | Total |
| 15 x 100 MHz | 1500 MHz | 199 | 174 | 184 |
| 15 x 110 MHz | 1650 MHz | 216 | 188 | 200 |
It should be noted, though, that the Media Encoder scores were exceptionally high with 316 and 333 points, respectively. On the other hand, even in the SSE-optimized Photoshop, the P4 scores were only at the level of a 1200 MHz Thunderbird.
Memory Bandwidth
Even though these scores are relatively irrelevant (at least for cross-platform comparisons), here are the results of SiSoft Sandra Memory Benchmark. At 1500 MHz, the results were identical to those given as the reference system.
 Increasing the multiplier to 16 x slightly increases the memory bandwidth which is logical since Sandra also includes cache transfer into the benchmark results.
 Much higher results are achieved when the bus speed is increased to 115 MHz.
 Increasing the bus speed to 120 MHz whilst setting the multiplier to 14 x and further reducing the RDRAM frequency to 3:1 almost results in the same scores as those achieved with the reference system.
