| FOOTNOTES:1 In the multitasking test, systems load various Web pages while encoding video with Windows Media Encoder. 2 HT = Hyper-Threading technology. 3 Average of previously tested systems. HOW WE TEST: All systems were tested with WorldBench 5 and ran Windows XP; for test suite details see www.worldbench.com. Application tests are part of WorldBench 5. All rights reserved. We used a reference system from Intel for all Pentium 4 tests, first running benchmarks with the dual-core processor, then replacing it with a 3.2-GHz P4 CPU, and then again with a 3.73-GHz Pentium EE. CHART NOTES: For WorldBench 5, higher is better; elsewhere, lower is better. Bold denotes best score. Systems in italics are comparison units. | |||||||
