SysMark2002 is more of an extension of SysMark2001
rather then a whole new benchmark. The applications used during testing have
been updated and most importantly for AMD users, the new SysMark2002 uses the
Windows Media Encoder 7.1 which supports the AthlonXP's SSE
instructions.
Here we
can see that even at stock speeds the Celeron (which has 200 MHz more CPU speed)
can't keep up with the Northwood based Pentium 4. L2 Cache obviously plays a key
role in CPU performance.
