Intel Pentium 4 6xx and 3.73EE: Favoring Features Over Performance

3D Rendering
3dsmax 5.1
WorldBench includes two 3dsmax benchmarks using version 5.1 of the popular 3D rendering and animation package: a DirectX and an OpenGL benchmark.
3dsmax 6
For the next 3dsmax test we used version 6 of the program and ran the SPECapc rendering tests to truly stress these CPUs. Since there's not much new to report here we're only going to report the Rendering Composite score. For more details feel free to read our Athlon 64 FX-55 Review where we analyze the performance data in much greater depth.

you are correct mike (and you too mjz5):-)

You're in luck -- Anand is writing that one personally. In my opinion he's the best there is at explaining technology so that anyone can understand it.And we've got "better" pics of cell, but they have boxes and text all over them to tell what block does what ... that's the best "clean" cell pic we've got.

new news!! Nothing new from intel, actually that's not new news :-s...nourdmrolNMT1 - Monday, February 21, 2005 - link
also, in the Cell picture, i count 8 cache areas, is there 8 sub processors with their own cache and then a main processor that controlls all the others with its own cache (the dark blue on the right, while the light blue is the sub processors cache?)MIKE

:-)yea, find a better quality pic of the Cell processor. and please use small words that the small ppl like me can understand especially in the Cell article next week. i look forward to it, but dont want to be all confused like i am on a lot of your high tech articles.
:-D
