Content Creation and General Usage Performance
Where Intel dominated Content Creation in the past, the 3.2, 3.0, 3000+ and 3200+ are all extremely close in performance in the 2003 version. The FX again leads all results. The most recent 2004 Multimedia Winstone, which is composed of more recent versions of software, really shows off the performance of the Athlon64 processors. All 3 of our test AMD processors outperform the Intel 3.2.
AMD processors have normally done much better in the General Usage Benchmark — even Athlon XP CPUs normally led in this test. In both the 2002 version and the recent 2004 Winstone, the 3 AMD processors outperform the Intel Pentium 4 3.2GHz. Once again, the dual-channel FX51 dominates the Performance scores.

Interesting. The charts DO show up in both IE and Firebird when I click through the pages one-by-one, but not when I click the "Print this article" link (which is how I read the articles). Go figure. Thanks for the help Curt.Curt Oien - Monday, December 22, 2003 - link

This would be a nice article, but I do not see any charts in either IE or Mozilla Firebird. Is anyone else seeing this problem. or is it just me? Or is it that there are no benchmarking charts?sheh - Wednesday, August 10, 2016 - link
