The tests here warrant attention because complex Adobe PhotoShop 5.0, Adobe Premiere 5.1, Macromedia Director 7.0, Macromedia Dreamweaver 2.0, Netscape Navigator 4.6 and Sonic Foundry Sound Forge scripts are run. Content Creation Winstone 2000 keeps multiple applications open at once and switches among those applications. All of these have 'hot spots', as ZD likes to call them that truly test the system, but the CPU especially. Think of this benchmark as the "Crusher" ZD-equivalent test, which pushes real world programs to their limits (as opposed to Quake II timedemo1) on a system level.

AMD's newest value CPU comes out on top once again with a score of 29.4 in Windows 98 and 34.7 in Windows 2000. That's right, under Windows 2000 the Duron 750 achieves the same performance as a 1GHz Thunderbird running Windows 98.
