    AMD Athlon XP 3200+ Barton Review
    By Vince Freeman :  May 13, 2003

    Business Winstone 2002 Performance

    The Business Winstone 2002 suite from ZD Labs is an application-based PC benchmark that uses business tasks like word processing, spreadsheets, web browsing and formatting, as well as file compression, anti-virus scanning and email. This suite of programs are run from a batch script that attempts to accurately emulate a business system load, then supplies a final performance rating.

    Business Winstone testing has long been the domain of AMD processors, and the Athlon XP 3200+ only extends the lead over the Pentium 4. The chart shows a nice separation between the Athlon XP and Pentium 4 CPUs, with even the Athlon XP 2700+ matching the performance of the Pentium 4-3.0C. The combination of the Barton core and a 400 MHz FSB almost takes the Athlon XP 3200+ beyond the 40 mark.

    Content Creation Winstone 2003 Performance

    Content Creation Winstone 2003 is another new benchmark from ZD/PC Mag, and is one that uses Windows XP as the intended platform. Its demanding applications and exceptional stability makes it a great match for our high-end testing and a valuable tool when determining system performance levels using cutting-edge hardware and software.

    In Content Creation Winstone, the tables are turned and while AMD stole the show in Business Winstone testing, it's now Intel's turn. The Athlon XP 3200+ does take strides against the impressive scores of the Pentium 4, but this benchmark test is definitely Intel territory.
