ZDBop's 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 measuring the CPU-intensive portion of the 3D graphics pipeline. Over the past year, the Pentium III Coppermine has shown just how scaleable its architecture is in this test (please refer back to our earlier Pentium III reviews). It's no surprise then that with an extra 100MHz added to the already fast 1GHz Pentium III, that we have a new champ here. The 1.13GHz scored an impressive 2.1 in comparison to the 1GHz Pentium III, which scored 1.9. The Athlon 1GHz (with the “Thunderbird” core) is not far behind at 1.8.
