Testbed and Methods

As we have promised in the beginning of this article, Pentium D 820 will compete in our performance tests against other processors offered at the same price point. Among them are AMD Athlon 64 3200+ and 3500+, Intel Pentium 4 540 and 550 and Pentium 4 630 and 640, which are priced between $200 and $270. This test session will allow us to conclude whether it would be a good idea to base your platform particularly on the Pentium D 820 CPU.

Our platforms were assembled with the following components:

  • CPUs:
    • AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (Socket 939, 2.2GHz, 512KB L2, E3 core revision aka Venice);
    • AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (Socket 939, 2.0GHz, 512KB L2, E3 core revision aka Venice);
    • Intel Pentium D 820 (LGA775, 2.8GHz, 2 x 1MB L2);
    • Intel Pentium 4 640 (LGA775, 3.2GHz, 2MB L2);
    • Intel Pentium 4 630 (LGA775, 3.0GHz, 2MB L2);
    • Intel Pentium 4 570 (LGA775, 3.4GHz, 1MB L2);
    • Intel Pentium 4 570 (LGA775, 3.2GHz, 1MB L2).
  • Mainboards:
    • ASUS P5WD2 Premium (LGA775, Intel 955X);
    • DFI NF4 Ultra-D (Socket 939, NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra).
  • Memory:
    • 1024MB DDR400 SDRAM (Corsair CMX512-3200XLPRO, 2 x 512MB, 2-2-2-10);
    • 1024MB DDR2-667 SDRAM (Corsair CM2X512A-5400UL, 2 x 512MB, 4-4-4-14).
  • PowerColor RADEON X800 XT (PCI-E x16) graphics card.
