I ran H.Oda’s WCPUID to get some information about the test system for verification purposes. As you can see the system clock is at 174.02 and has a multiplier of 16 that adds up to 2784.31 MHz. While it is hard to compare the two test systems due to the differences in the architecture of the components, I will comment solely on the benchmark results.

CPU and MULTIMEDIA BENCHMARK – SiSoft Sandra 2002

Intel 2.8GHz

Athlon XP 2100+

CPU Test:

In this test, the Intel 2.8GHz beats the AMD 2100+ by a margin of about 700 points ALU (+14.8%) and about 1000 points FPU with iSSE2 (+44.7%).

Multimedia Test:

In this test , the Intel 2.8GHz beats the AMD 2100+ by a margin of about 3000 points in both Integer (+16.2%) and Floating-point (+30.5%) calculations.

Memory Bandwidth Test:

Again Intel’s 2.8GHz beats out the AMD 2100+ by a margin of 700 points in Integer (+34.6) and Floating-point Buffered (+38.8%).

Overall: Intel P4 2.8GHz leads

OFFICE PRODUCTIVITY – SysMark 2002

Intel 2.8 & AMD 2100+ XP

Similar to the results, in the other tests, the Intel 2.8GHz holds a large lead over the AMD 2100+ by more than 50 points.
