P4’s 533FSB and 800FSB Performance ComparisonP4’s 533FSB and 800FSB Performance Comparison
Let’s take a look at the performance difference (if any) between the P4 533FSB and 800FSB
Our system configuration is:
• Intel D865PERL motherboard• Pentium™ 4/2.8GHz (533FSB and 800FSB)• 512MB (2 x 256MB DDR266)• WD 180GB / 7,200RPM IDE HDD (WD1800BB)• Sapphire Radeon 9500 128MB• Mitsumi 52x24x52x CDRW (CR-478ETE)
For our test, we will use the P4/2.8GHz in both 533FSB and 800FSB; since the P4/2.8GHz/800FSB comes with HT and the P4/2.8GHz/533FSB does not, we will disable HT in the motherboard BIOS
For our first benchmark we will use 3DMark 2003. This test will benchmark a system’s overall 3D performance
From the graph on the right, we can see the performance delta between 533FSB and 800FSB is minimal at best. This is because this benchmark is heavily dependent on the video card, not the processor
P4’s 533FSB and 800FSB Performance Comparison (cont.)P4’s 533FSB and 800FSB Performance Comparison (cont.)
Content Creation 2002 measures a system’s overall performance when running digital content creation applications such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premier, Macromedia Dreamweaver, etc.
Since this more intensive benchmark than Business Winstone, we should see a greater performance delta between the 800FSB and 533FSB CPUs
In this benchmark, we can see the 800FSB CPU is about 14% faster than its 533FSB counterpart
In conclusion, there is a measurable performance increase going from 533FSB 800FSB
Business Winstone 2001 measures a system’s overall performance when running common office suites such as Microsoft Office 2000 and Lotus Office.
In this benchmark, we can see the 800FSB CPU is about 9% faster than its 533FSB counterpart
