Athlon64 3000+: 64-bit at Half the Price

Workstation Performance
Until the introduction of the Athlon64 chips, Intel was dominating Workstation Benchmarks. Across the board, the 3000+ does quite well against the top chips from both AMD and Intel. While we really expected the reduction to 512k cache to hamper Workstation Performance, the performance drop from the 3200+ is extremely small, and is much less than expected.
In general, both the single-channel 3000+ and 3200+ compete very well with the Intel 3.2, and all 3 lead the P4 3.0. The FX51 is dominant in Workstation Performance, significantly outperforming all other tested CPUs. Once again, the FX51 proves to be the fastest processor that you can buy, but you give up very little with the Athlon64 3000+. The 3000+ is definitely the best buy among performance processors right now.

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
I see charts with IElifeguard1999 - 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.
