Benchmark Results For The Athlon XP 2000+
We performed a total of 19 different benchmark tests in order to obtain the most complete, well-balanced view of how the Athlon XP 2000+ performs. We determined OpenGL performance using four different Quake tests - Direct3D performance from the DirectX package is determined using the 3D Mark 2000 (based on DirectX 7) and the 3D Mark 2001 (based on DirectX 8). The different MPEG-encoding benchmarks portray a comprehensive testing scenario - the Lame MP3 Encoder was used to encode a 178 MB WAV file into MPEG-1 Layer 3 format. Still a classic, our MPEG-4 test converts a file from a commercial DVD-ROM into MPEG-4 format using Flask Mpeg and Divx. A new addition to our benchmark suite is encoding an MPEG-2 file within a project by using the video editing software Pinnacle Studio 7.
