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

General Usage & Business Application Performance

For general/business usage performance we turn to Office Productivity SYSMark 2002 and Business Winstone 2001:

The Pentium 4 2.80GHz ends up being around 10% faster than the Athlon XP 2800+ here, which is a noticeable performance difference.

Business Winstone paints a similar picture, except here the next 2800+ delivers about the same level of performance as the 2.66 and 2.80GHz Pentium 4s. Your specific experience will vary depending on the type of workload you put on your CPU but generally speaking, the Athlon XP 2800+ proves its competitiveness in the business world with these benchmarks; it's not the fastest, but it can hold its own.
