Intel Prescott: the benchmarks
Published: 02 Feb 2004
Load times: F1 Challenge 99-02
The second load test, with F1 Challenge 99-02, also shows up performance differences, although not as dramatically as Racing Simulation 3. AMD’s processors are clearly faster when loading replays, while Intel’s new Prescott Pentium 4 outperforms its Northwood predecessor. Obviously here the advantages of Prescott’s larger caches outweigh the disadvantages of its longer pipeline.
