Pentium4 Benchmarks

50
The Pentium4 is scheduled for a release tomorrow, but benchmarks have been leaking out in a number of places already. You can check out some benchmarks at JC-News as well as here. Hopefully I can sucker Jack into explaining a bit on what exactly these benchmarks mean aside from the obvious. These were taken using a GeForce2 card:

CPU Quake3 Fastest Quake3 HQ 3DMark2k (T&L) Sysmark2k
P4 1.5GHz 199.5 145.4 9162 208
P4 1.4GHz 192.6 144.2 8867 199
K7 1.2GHz DDR 166.0 137.3 9624 232
K7 1.2GHz 133 143.6 125.4 8742 221

We'll see a bunch more benchmarks tomorrow I'm sure, but these are pretty good to ponder for the weekend. I'm just hoping they get that 2GHz chip out as soon as the rumors say they will.

update: Here's a full review on GamePC which seems to be online early. Its piss-ass slow though.

Steve Gibson is the cofounder of Shacknews.com. Originally known as sCary's Quakeholio back in 1996, Steve is now President of Gearbox Publishing after selling Shacknews to GameFly in 2009.
