CPU-comparsion: AMD K6-2/350MHz and intel P II-333MHz

Armin Lenz, from VoodooNation, has send me his 3DMARK99 values made in his tests of the ELSA Erazor II in a K6-2/350MHz system. I compare these values with reults of my intel Pentium II 333MHz system with ELSA Erazor II.

The results show where FPU-power influences the benchmark values - still the weak point of the K6. I didīnt find any comments about 3DNow! in 3DMARK99, so I think itīs not used!

Large differences are marked with yellow boxes!!

640x480-16Bit

800x600-16Bit

Results:

The AMD falls back as soon as FPU Power is important. So the frame rates in the game-runs are lower. The same in CPU-Geometry test.

The n Pixel Polygon tests draw triangles to the screen, trying to match the triangles to be as close to the desired size as possible.

Individual Triangle Tests: Triangles do not share vertices. Triangles are sent to the 3D Accelerator as triangle lists. This test does not use vertex buffers.

Triangle Strip Tests: Triangle strips are constructed so that one horizontal line is one triangle strip as demonstrated in the picture below. This test does not use local vertex buffers.

You can see that the K6 falls back in indivdual test   very clear.

More explanations of the benchmarks can be found on the 3DMARK99 help pages  (Help/Help Topics).

Dank nochmals an Armin Lenz von VoodooNation für die K6-2 Werte !!!
