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.

Internet Content (FSB/Memory) Sysmarks Ranking
1. BG7 - 133/333 357
2. NT72-SA - 133/1066 368
3. GNB MAX - 133/266 372
4. E7205 Master-L - 133/266 361

Office Productivity (FSB/Memory)

1 BG7 - 133/333 175
2. NT72-SA - 133/1066 189
3. GNB MAX - 133/266 187
4. E7205 Master-L - 133/266 183

It seems like the E7205 Master-L is a tad slower then the GNB MAX (Granite Bay) and NT72-SA (i850E).
