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.

The Athlon64 3200+/K8T Neo does not perform very well in the Internet Content portion of SysMark2002. My suspicions are that SSE2 is either not being used properly or not being used at all by some of the applications in that part of the benchmarking suite. In the office productivity portion of SysMark we see that the Athlon64 3200+ performs about on part with the Pentium 3.2 GHz. Not bad considering the P4 has a 1.2 GHz advantage.

Content Creation Winstone 2002 is a system-level, application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall performance when running top, Windows-based, 32-bit, content creation applications on Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Me, or Windows XP.

Business Winstone 2002 is a system-level, application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall performance when running today's top-selling Windows-based 32-bit applications on Windows 98, Windows 2000 (SP6 or later), Windows Me, or Windows XP. Business Winstone doesn't mimic what these packages do; it runs real applications through a series of scripted activities and uses the time a PC takes to complete those activities to produce its performance scores.

The Winstone 2002 based benchmarks like the Athlon64 3200+/K8T Neo much more then SysMark2002. Here we see even at stock speed the Athlon64 3200+/K8T Neo is faster then both the P4 3.2C and the older AthlonXP 3200+.
