We performed a total of 26 different benchmark tests in order to obtain the most complete, well-balanced view of how the new VIA KT333 performs. You can get a clear overall picture from the benchmark results for a total of 9 different platforms, all of them for AMD CPUs. We ran four different Quake 3 tests to determine OpenGL performance. The different MPEG-encoding benchmarks provide a comprehensive testing environment - the Lame MP3 Encoder was used to encode a 178 MB WAV file into MPEG-1 Layer 3 format. Still am established standard, our MPEG-4 test converts a file from a commercial DVD-ROM into MPEG-4 format using Xmpeg 4.2a and the Divx 4.12 codec. We also created an MPEG-2 film using the video-editing software "Pinnacle Studio 7." A regular in our list of benchmarks is determining rendering performance using Newtek's Lightwave (version 7b). We also ran WinACE 4.1 to test file archiving, a standard and practical application in the computing world. Compiling the latest Linux kernel, 2.4.13, has long been a standard benchmark in our repertoire. In order to determine office performance, we used Sysmark 2002 benchmark for the first time. SPECviewperf provides a comprehensive suite of 3D benchmarks.
