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.	Pentium 4 3.0C	43
2.	AthlonXP 3000+	49
3.	AthlonXP 3200+	44
4.	AthlonXP 3200+ OC'ed (2.42 GHz)	38

It seems like Super Pi likes higher FSB's as there's a huge 5 second difference between the AthlonXP 3000+ and AthlonXP 3200+ despite only being 40 MHz faster.

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.	Pentium 4 3.0C	168
2.	AthlonXP 3000+	146
3.	AthlonXP 3200+	144
4.	AthlonXP 3200+ OC'ed (2.42 GHz)	132

Unlike what we saw with the Super Pi benchmarks, the P4 3.0C is clearly slower then the AthlonXP based processors. Stock performance shows the AthlonXP 3200+ just a tad faster then the AthlonXP 3000+.
