In our test session we used a new WebMark 2004 test. This benchmark measures the performance (response time) of the system during the browsing of various web-sites designed with different up-to-date Internet technologies and algorithms, such as Macromedia Flash, Shockwave, Javascript, Java, DHTML, SSL, NET, etc.

The performance of Celeron D working at 3.8GHz is beyond any possible limits. Due to high clock frequency this overclocked CPU outperforms even Pentium 4 3.2E GHz on Prescott core. As for the performance of the Celeron D processor at its nominal frequencies, it outpaces both Pentium 4 CPUs with 533MHz on Prescott and Northwood cores, but falls behind its competitor – AMD Athlon XP 2800+.
