Archiving is a very practical application. WinACE 2.11 was used under Windows XP to archive a 178 MB WAV file while the clock was running. The Pentium 4/2200 comes out ahead of the Athlon XP 2100+. High memory throughput helps render positive results in this test, as well. All Pentium 4 CPUs at an FSB clock speed of 133 MHz and 533 MHz Rambus memory that are not yet available on the market were marked with a blue-and-black bar and are there only for reference purposes.
Video-Encoding MPEG-2: Pinnacle Studio 7
The Intel Pentium 4/2200 was somewhat slower at creating an MPEG-2 film using Pinnacle Studio 7 than was the AMD Athlon XP 2100+. The slowest candidate is once again the AMD Athlon 850 that we included only for comparison purposes. The performance of the AMD Athlon XP 2100+ is striking. Combined with DDR333 and the KT333 chipset, it outstrips its competitor Intel that runs at much higher clock speeds. All Pentium 4 CPUs at an FSB clock speed of 133 MHz and 533 MHz Rambus memory that are not yet available on the market were marked with a blue-and-black bar and are there only for reference purposes.
