Benchmarks Under Windows XP
We used a total of 16 different benchmark tests in order to obtain a well-rounded and balanced picture of how the Duron 1300 performs. The OpenGL performance is measured through various Quake 3 tests - the Direct3D performance from the DirectX package is measured with 3D Mark 2000 (based on DirectX 7) and 3D Mark 2001 (based on DirectX 8). A comprehensive test scenario is created by a variety of benchmarks for MPEG encoding: with the help of the Lame MP3 Encoder, a 178 MB WAV file is converted to the MPEG-1 Layer 3 format. In addition, we took a look at MPEG-2 encoding within a project, for which we used the video editing software Pinnacle Studio 7. For a while, we have been using the professional Lightwave package version 7b from Newtek to evaluate rendering performance. Another important and practical application is archiving, for which we used WinACE-Packer. Compiling the newest Linux Kernel 2.4.13 has long been part of our standard repertoire. In order to test office performance, we used the Sysmark 2001 benchmark.
