The ever popular Sandra forms the first part
of our testing, let's take a look at what you can expect
from the Pentium 4 2.53GHz...

Despite the Athlons stronger Floating Point
unit, the Pentium still produces very strong scores in these
benchmarks. It's important to remember that in some of the
benchmarks the Intel CPU is using SSE2 which the Athlon
cannot. Rather the Athlon is using MMX and the first incarnation
of SSE thus running behind the Pentium in terms of features.
Regardless of the differences the Intel solution tops the
Athlon in each of these tests.

The Intel and Rambus combination once more
proves unbeatable in this benchmark. The Athlon simply
doesn't have the architectural advantages of the P4 to
allow sufficient throughput of data when compared to a
Pentium 4. Even at 166MHz memory speed, DDR is still showing
it's inferiority when analyzed in this benchmark. If AMD
could up the frontside bus of the Athlon series the result
may be drawn closer together but for now at least Intel
takes the lead again. Remember once more the Intel combination
is using the more advanced SSE2.
