3D Rendering: Newtek Lightwave 7b

In the Lightwave benchmark, the lead of the Pentium 4/3000 over the flagship P4/2200 becomes all the more evident: while the P4/2200 takes 230.6 seconds for the rendering task, the P4/3000 requires only 170.9 seconds for the same task.

Office Performance: Sysmark 2001

These scores are self-explanatory.

    and now we have 6-core i7-980X that can be overclocked using the stock cooler.And the intel atom can beat the 2200MHz chip in the benchmark(the dual-core atom, of course).But these days were good.I was still pretty much an ignorant in the computer field.
