Performance

The Duron 750MHz is a welcome addition to the current range, but does the extra 50Mhz make that much of a difference? in terms of raw power we have carried out the benchmarks, but remember our benchmarks also take into consideration real time applications. We have used the Duron 700MHz as a benchmark for you to compare the difference and decide for yourself. We have also provided an AMD competitive comparison chart for your guide.

Mad Onion 3DMark 2000
3DMark 2000 is one of the best 3D performance diagnostic benchmark software currently available. To provide a comprehensive result we ran under two resolutions 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768 both in 16-bit colour.

The result highlights the Duron 750MHz to be quicker than the 700MHz as you would expect, in the 800 x 600 test the 750Mhz scores 6615 3D marks and the 700MHz 6419 3D marks - (3.05% overall increase). The gap is less pronounced in 1024 x 768 test the 750MHz scores 6058 3D marks and the 700MHz 5926 3D marks - (2.22% overall increase). It is important to bear in mind the 3D tests are not purely processor dependant, the video card and it's drivers along with the supporting motherboard chipsets play a major role in these tests. The results of the 3D Mark 2000 should be used in conjunction with the other benchmarks we have attained.

BAPCO - SYSmark 2000
SYSmark 2000 is an application-based benchmark that reflects today's leading edge software applications for Internet Content Creation and Office Productivity.

Consistency is the second title given to the Duron! The Duron 750MHz comes in with a mark of 149 whilst the 700MHz scores 143 - (4.20% overall increase). If the results are taken in the context of office applications and Internet content creation than 4.20% is a decent improvement.

ZIFF DAVIS - Content Creation Winstone 2000
Winstone 2000 is similar to SYSmark 2000 and is used by us as a comparison to the SYSmark 2000 benchmarks.

The Winstone 2000 reports a slight increase in the percentage gain the 750Mhz scores 34.5 points and the 700MHz scores 32.7 points (5.50% overall increase).
