Below, we've provided a compilation of results of CPU integer and floating-point performance.

As expected, when coupled with Direct Rambus RDRAM and the i850 chipset, the Intel Pentium 4 becomes unbeatable.

It's interesting to note the differences between the two 133MHz FSB P4's, though. They seem to show that the 3.2GB/sec of bandwidth that is achievable by PC800 memory isn't enough to satisfy the 4.2GB/sec FSB of the new P4.

Next: Linpack memory tests.
