Over at Maximum PC they benchmarked a Falcon system running a P4 EE overclocked to 4.25 GHz. I suppose if Intel won't make the part, others will find a way. Even with AMD's dual cores pulling ahead in a lot of the latest tests, this just reminds me that by no means is Intel out of this.
The Mach V’s performance was disheartening—for us, that is. We established new benchmarks just this April in hopes of raising the bar and keeping it there for at least 12 to 18 months. The Mach V walked in and wiped the floor with our benchmarks. It was faster by almost 25 percent in SYSmark2004, which tests real-world app performance. In Premiere Pro, the Mach V finished 55 percent faster; and in Game 3 of 3DMark 2005, it was a phenomenal 74 percent faster. The Mach V now holds the record for every benchmark we use to gauge a PC’s performance. The only disappointing number we saw was in Doom 3; there, the Mach V managed to just barely squeeze past the ABS Ultimate M6 we reviewed last month. On the other hand, we cranked up Doom 3 to Ultra on the Mach V, and saw absolutely no performance hit.Those complaints aside, it’s hard to knock a machine that sets records in every one of our benchmarks. There’s no arguing that the Mach V is the fastest machine we’ve ever seen; the only remaining question is, can you afford it?
