NFB - Computer processor question

3DMark2001SE my work computer got 11734. Details in attached file.

Nice, you've got some pretty good fill rate #s there.

Here's the #s from my:
desktop (9231) http://s94938520.onlinehome.us/desktop_results2001.txt
laptop (12223) http://s94938520.onlinehome.us/laptop_results2001.txt

Here's my home computer. 8331 It's a 1.8 GHz, 1gig rambus, Nvidia GeForce 5700 overclocked to 425.

Here is my wife's HPZD7000 notebook. 10990 first run 10860 second run.

[Jeff_in_Atl]

So it looks like your Pentium M 2.0 is faster than my wife's Pentium 4 3.0.

[Craig 94 TA GT]

Wow, those #s are very similar to my desktop, which is also 1.8 GHZ. The difference seems to be the FX is better at high polygon counts with more lights, and the Ti has a higher fill rate. I'm sure the FX visual quality is far better, which is probably why the Ti "shows" a better fill rate.

Did you try 2003 on your home system? It has a CPU benchmark too, but I'm not quite sure if it's worth looking at. Just for reference, my Athlon 2200+ scored a 427, and Pentium M 2.0 GHZ scored 801...which is double the marks

Craig, you've about talked me into getting a Pentium M 2.0 instead of a Pentium 4 3.X .

What are you running?

Craig, you've about talked me into getting a Pentium M 2.0 instead of a Pentium 4 3.X .

Is that because of the 801 vs 427 vs 395 CPU marks? I always "thought" these processors performed about the same, but apparently the benchmarks show different. I'm not quite sure how well this benchmark measures a real CPU's performance though

I did find this review though: A P4 3.0 GHZ laptop, 1 GB RAM, ATI Mobility 9600 scored a 9367 in 3dmark2001. http://www.tomshardware.com/mobile/2...mayhem-05.html
Granted the video in my laptop is a bit better, but the they're using a P4 3.0 compared to my PM 2.0. I'm still trying to find more benchmarks for Pentium M's though...application, real-world, synthetic, 3D, etc.

[Craig 94 TA GT]

Jeff, I just found this: http://www23.tomshardware.com/index....l2=18&chart=17

It looks like the 801 the Pentium M scored was right in between a P4 2.8 GHZ and a P4 3.0 GHZ....and right on with a P4 520 @ 2.8 GHZ.

I'm going to run 2005 CPU marks again to see what it does in the charts.

"laptop (12223)", the other numbers plus the battery life of the Pentium M seams to be better. Plus it's getting hard to find Pentium 4 notebooks. Yes they are there but the all seam to be the wide screens with the exception of the IBM ThinkPad. I really would rather have a standard screen because I have a 21"TFT I plan on using with a docking station most of the time. I would have to switch the resolution when I change from the laptop monitor and the desktop monitor. Plus unless you spend over $2,000 you can get a better video card in the Pentium M notebooks. I'd rather have a better video card than the fastest processor.

[Jeff_in_Atl]

I'm getting a headache from this.

I don't see any Pentium Ms on the chart.
http://www23.tomshardware.com/index....l2=18&chart=17
I first thought the 6XX series was Pentium Ms but they are not. The Ms are 7XX. http://www.intel.com/products/proces...iumm/index.htm

What are you running?

p4 3.2
radeon 9800 pro
1 gig pc 3200
like 500 gigs of hdd
and other stuff not important to 3dmark

but...
im getting a new computer with a amd 4200+, 2 Geforce 6800 GTs and 2 gigs of ddr 400
