The Athlon 64 4000+ is not clocked faster than its nearest predecessor, but that doesn't preclude it from obtaining a healthy boost in the benchmarks thanks to 1MB L2 Cache.

Benchmarks: ScienceMark 2, SuperPI
Mol Dyn:
Molecular Dynamics is a method for simulating the thermodynamic behaviour of
materials using their forces, velocities, and positions. Most important of the
afore mentioned is the force. Primordia: This code calculates the Quantum
Mechanical Hartree-Fock Orbital for each electron in any element of the periodic
table Lower times indicate better
results.

Interesting
results in this physics benchmark. Again, the Athlon 64 chips give excellent
performance as we have seen in the past. The nVidia platform lags behind the VIA
chipset by a noticeable margin in this benchmark, with the Athlon64 4000+
failing to keep pace with the Athlon64 3800+ chip on the VIA board. Intel's
Pentium 4 540 rounds out the results in last place, with the slowest
times.
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.

In Super-Pi, a popular number-crunching benchmark, the
overclocked Athlon64 4000+ is fastest, as you might expect. The difference
between the A64 4000+'s overclocked results and its times on the VIA and NF3
chipsets is only 3 seconds.
