Intel Prescott: the benchmarks
Published: 02 Feb 2004
Internet performance
As far as Internet performance is concerned, AMD’s processors are ahead of Intel’s Pentium 4. The Athlon 64 3200+ is particularly impressive compared to the 3.2GHz Pentium 4 in the JavaScript and JavaScript/XML W3C tests, delivering 50 per cent better performance. The Northwood Pentium 4 scores well with the Java VM and Acrobat Reader tests, while the new Prescott chip is somewhat slower than its predecessor in all Internet benchmarks except the XML test.
