3D Benchmark: Quake III Arena

MP3 Encoding

This benchmark scales very well and demands good CPU performance. It is obvious that the Eden processor has no chance here and it takes forever to carry out this task. The models with the C3 CPU do better.

Memory Performance

Memory performance cannot approach what is possible with the latest Pentium 4 or Athlon systems. One of the reasons for this is the influence of the CPU cache on memory performance.
