Archiving files is a typical application. For this test we used a 178 MB WAV file that we compressed as far as possible with Winace.

Here, too, a clearly faster processor brings considerable advantages.

3D Performance

Direct-3D Performance: 3D Mark 2001 SE

As the results of the synthetic 3D benchmarks 3D Mark 2001 SE show, a faster CPU only increases speed at lower resolutions. This benefit disappears at higher resolutions. This shows that the fastest CPU means nothing if the graphics bus system doesn't perform just as nimbly.
