Socket 7: Fit For Years To Come!

Office Performance

In the application benchmark Sysmark 2000, the K6-III+ shines again with outstanding results. It very clearly dominates over an Intel Celeron of the same speed. We've already published similar results in our last report on Socket7.

The latest item in our benchmark suite is Flask Mpeg which allows conversion of MPEG-2 video to MPEG-4. This benchmark impressively visualizes how closely related encoding speed is to L2 cache size. With its 256 kB L2 cache, AMD K6-III+ is an obvious first here. Please note that less is better in this case.
