Performance Test: Configuration
To provide you with the best picture of the performance of the new Athlon64 3000+, we decided to compare it to other processors using our standard Motherboard tests. The same Socket 754 motherboard, the Soltek K8AV2-RL, was used to benchmark the Athlon64 3000+ and the Athlon64 3200+. The Asus P4C800-E was used to test the Socket 478 Pentium 4 3.2GHz and 3.0GHz CPUs. Finally, the Asus SK8V was used for benchmarking the Socket 940 Athlon64 FX51.| Performance Test Configuration | |

page 4 - Science Mark 2; page 5 - Aquamark; page 7 - Winstone 2004; Where are the 3.0Ghz P4 results?Why isn't the P4 2.8C included? It's in the same price range.

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
The article is missing the images, as of 8/2016.
