А вот что пишут про новый "пенек" на [Tomshardware]:

Pentium 4 scores very badly in MPEG4 encoding benchmarks once the IEEE high quality iDCT is used.
Pentium 4 runs current office applications slower than Pentium 3 and much slower than AMD's Athlon, as proven in our Sysmark 2000 benchmark results from Monday.
Pentium 4 scores worse than Athlon in Unreal Tournament.
Pentium 4 is a very bad solution for compilations with gcc 2.95.2 under Linux.
Pentium 4 scores very badly in 3D Studio Max , proving a sub-par FPU.
Pentium 4 gets slightly beaten by Athlon in the 3D game MDK2.
Pentium 4 is badly losing out against Pentium 3 as well as Athlon in clock-for-clock comparisons.
Pentium 4 is currently the most expensive x86-system solution available.
BUT Pentium 4 is really good at Quake 3 Arena! Honestly!

Здоровски!

Carmack on P4

Several people have been speculating about the Pentium4 benchmarks and why exactly it runs Quake3 so fast but seems to get beat out by the lower clocked AMD chips in just about every other test. John Carmack who might know a thing or two about this was kind enough to send me his thoughts on why this is:

If I had to hazard a wild guess, I would say that it is because much of Q3's structure is broken up into nice separate phases, like game, cgame, front end, back end. The P4 relies on a trace cache for best performance, and it would have effects in some ways like a smaller instruction cache. It may turn out to be something unrelated, like a better bus interface helping the graphics driver more.
