Intel Pentium 4 3.0GHz 800MHZ FSB Processor Review
Intel Pentium 4 3.0GHz 800MHZ FSB Processor Review - PCSTATS
While the AthlonXP 3200+ gives the P4 3.0C a good run for its money, the P4 is slightly faster in the end as you'll see.

Benchmarks: Benchmarks: Super Pi, POVRay

SuperPI Source: SuperPI

SuperPI calculates the number PI to 1 Million digits in this raw number crunching benchmark. The benchmark is fairly diverse and allows the user to change the number of digits of PI that can be calculated from 16 Thousand to 32 Million. The benchmark, which uses 19 iterations in the test, is set 1 Million digits.

Lower numbers denote faster calculation times (seconds), and hence, better performance.

Super PI (1 Million digits) Benchmark Results (Lower is better)
Processor Seconds Ranking
1. AthlonXP 3000+ 49
2. AthlonXP 3200+ 44
3. Pentium 4 3.0C 43
4. 35

Thanks to the higher FSB the Pentium 4 3.0C even at stock is competitive with the AthlonXP 3200+ which is known to have a powerful FPU.

POVRay Source: POVRay.org

The Persistence of Vision Ray Tracer (POV-Ray) is an all round excellent package, but there are two things that particularly make it stand out above the rest of the crowd. Firstly, it's free, and secondly, the source is distributed so you can compile it on virtually any platform.

Lower numbers denote faster calculation times (seconds), and hence, better performance.

POVRay Benchmark Results (lower is better)
Processor Seconds Ranking
1. AthlonXP 3000+ 146
2. AthlonXP 3200+ 144
3. Pentium 4 3.0C 168
4. Pentium 4 3.0C Oc'ed (3.45 GHz) 145

POVRay seems to only care about pure FPU power and that's why the P4 3.0C does poorly here in this benchmark.
