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

ScienceMark 2.0 - Molecular Dynamics
Processor	Seconds	Ranking
Athlon64 3200+	89.8
Athlon64 3400+	80.4
Athlon64 FX-51	78.7
Pentium4 3.2GHz Extreme Edition	90.7
Pentium4 3.2GHz Northwood	91.7
Pentium4 3.2GHz Prescott	103.5

The Mol Dyn (Molecular Dynamics) benchmark simulates thermodynamic behavior of materials using forces, velocities, and positions. The simulation is measured in seconds, so a lower score is better. Once again, the Athlon 64 processors fall into first, second, and third place, followed by Intel's 3.2GHz Pentium 4 Extreme Edition, and lastly Northwood and Prescott cores.

Pentium4 3.2GHz Northwood	423.7
Pentium4 3.2GHz Prescott	480.2

Primordia calculates the quantum mechanical Hartree-Fock orbitals for the electrons of any element in the periodic table. In the case of our benchmark, it's silver. Prescott turns in disappointing results once again, coming in last place. He 3.2GHz Northwood part scores about 13 percent faster, and comes in a mere second behind AMD's Athlon 64 3200+. Intel's Pentium 4 Extreme Edition claims a third-place finish, and the Athlon 64 FX and 3400+ take first and second place, respectively.
