PCMark04 is the latest version of the popular PCMark series. PCMark04 is an application-based benchmark and a premium tool for measuring overall PC performance. It uses portions of real applications instead of including very large applications or using specifically created code. This allows PCMark04 to be a smaller installation as well as to report very accurate results.

PCMark04 tends to like Pentium 4 systems a lot more than AthlonXP/64s, so the results here aren't too surprising. It's good to see the brand new 3.2e processor rise to the top in the newest system benchmark in our testing suite though.

By combining DirectX8 support with completely new graphics, 3DMark 2001 SE continues to provide a good overall system benchmark. 3DMark2001 SE was created in co-operation with the major 3D accelerator and processor manufacturers to provide a reliable set of diagnostic tools. The suite demonstrates 3D gaming performance by using real-world gaming technology to test a system's true abilities. Tests include: DirectX8 Vertex Shaders, Pixel Shaders and Point Sprites, DOT3 and Environment Mapped Bump Mapping, support for Full Scene Anti-aliasing and Texture Compression and two game tests using Ipion real-time physics. Higher 3DMark scores denote better performance.

Using a slower X800XT instead of the X800XT PE like the other systems, the Pentium 4 540 is still able to do pretty well for itself in this benchmark. It does not score as well as the Athlon64 3800 or 3200+, but a stock score of 23k is very good.
