AMD Athlon XP 2800+ - Introducing the first 333MHz FSB Athlon XP

Gaming Performance (continued)

Jedi Knight 2 is another great gaming benchmark for CPUs as it is based on the popular Quake III engine but is demanding enough that it doesn't break the 300fps barrier at every chance it gets.

We used the 1.03 patch which still retained the game's built in demo (JK2FFA) and ran the test at high detail settings with anisotropic filtering disabled.

Gaming Performance - Jedi Knight 2 1.03 JK2FFA - Frames per Second (higher is better) Intel Pentium 4 2.80GHz Intel Pentium 4 2.66GHz AMD Athlon XP 2800+ (2.25GHz) Intel Pentium 4 2.53GHz Intel Pentium 4 2.60GHz (400MHz) Intel Pentium 4 2.4BGHz AMD Athlon XP 2600+ (2.13GHz) Intel Pentium 4 2.50GHz (400MHz) AMD Athlon XP 2400+ (2.00GHz) Intel Pentium 4 2.26GHz Intel Pentium 4 2.40GHz (400MHz) AMD Athlon XP 2200+ (1.80GHz) AMD Athlon XP 2100+ (1.73GHz) Intel Pentium 4 2.20GHz (400MHz) AMD Athlon XP 2000+ (1.67GHz) AMD Athlon XP 1900+ (1.60GHz) AMD Athlon XP 1800+ (1.53GHz) Intel Pentium 4 2.0AGHz (400MHz) AMD Athlon XP 1700+ (1.47GHz) 158.8 155.1 152.6 149.4 145.9 144.9 144.6 141.9 140.6 140.4 135.5 131.9 131.8 129.0 129.0 127.6 124.4 121.3 121.3 | 0 | 32 | 64 | 95 | 127 | 159 | 19

We continue to see a competitive display by the XP 2800+ but it fails to claim the absolute victory in this test, conceding to both the 2.66GHz and 2.80GHz Pentium 4s.
