The new 3D Winbench 2000 CPU Integer test really stresses the L2 cache of the CPU and best serves to demonstrate the speed of its internal processing. While the Pentium III Coppermine once again takes the performance crown, the Celeron 600 demonstrates serious advantages over the older Celeron design. The Coppermine lineage of the Celeron 600 and its improved L2 cache are the main reason for the increased scores.

One of the primary markets for the Celeron 600 is in the value multimedia home market, and DVD Movie playback is one of its main driving forces. Mad Onion's Video 2000 suite features an MPEG Encoding benchmark that demonstrates potential playback speeds with each of the tested CPUs. The Celeron 600 again shows it's a better multimedia processor than older Celerons, but falls just short of the Pentium III 500E score.
