AMD's Latest Thunderbird: SocketA Athlon at 1.1 GHz

OpenGL Workstation Performance, Continued

The latest SPECviewperf seems to focus on the performance of the OpenGL-card rather than the processor. The difference between the CPUs is not very impressive. Still AMD's new Athlon 1100 is looking very good.

Light-04 is of all the benchmarks in SPEC's new viewperf suite the one with the highest processor impact, although it is still not exactly a remarkable distance between the fastest and the slowest processor in this comparison. As a result, the processor price is obviously defining the scores.
