AMD Athlon 1GHz, 950MHz, 900MHz

ProCDRS-02 Viewset

Taken from: http://www.spec.org/gpc/opc.static/procdrs.htm

The ProCDRS-02 viewset is a complete update of the CDRS-03 viewset. It is intended to model the graphics performance of Parametric Technology Corporation's CDRS industrial design software.

For more information on CDRS, see http://www.ptc.com/icem/products/cdrs/cdrs.htm

The viewset consists of ten tests, each of which represents a different mode of operation within CDRS. Two of the tests use a wireframe model, and the other tests use a shaded model. Each test returns a result in frames per second, and a composite score is calculated as a weighted geometric mean of the individual test results. The tests are weighted to represent the typical proportion of time a user would spend in each mode.

All tests run in display list mode. The wireframe tests use anti-aliased lines, since these are the default in CDRS. The shaded tests use one infinite light and two-sided lighting. The texture is a 512 by 512 pixel 24-bit color image.

And to finish things off we have another example of the Athlon excelling in performance and the 1GHz part simply annihilating the nonexistent competition. The ProCDRS-02 test does seem to gain some performance improvement from the increased memory bandwidth offered by RDRAM but it still isn't enough to put the Pentium III 800/133 i820 system on-par with the cheaper Athlon at 800MHz on a KX133.
