AMD Athlon 64 3400+ and 3000+ Processor Review

Gaming: Quake III: Arena

This content was originally featured on Amdmb.com and has been converted to PC Perspective’s website. Some color changes and flaws may appear.

Here we start to see slight differences between the Athlon 64 processors. The 3000+ falls behind by 10% to the 3200+ on the low resolution while the 3200+ falls behind the 3400+ by a similar margin. The P4 processor is dealt another blow here as the 3400+ finally passes it up by a considerable margin.

It is interesting to note that the Quake III benchmark is very memory intensive, as is seen by the fact that the 3000+ falls behind the 3200+ with a lack of 512 KB L2 cache, but only on the lower resolutions.
