CPU Scaling Analysis, Part 1: AMD Athlon

SPECviewperf 6.1.2: Data Explorer

Again the new Athlons for 133 MHz FSB clearly outperform their brothers. The difference between the standard Athlons is hardly noticeable, as you can see from the results of the 800, 900 and 1000 MHz Athlons. As soon as you increase the FSB speed, the Athlon is able to show more of its potential.

SPECviewperf 6.1.2: Lightscape

Here you can see only a little performance advantage of the new Athlon-C. Lightscape primarily wants core clock.
