CPUmark 99 and FPU WinMark
Processor performance can be divided into floating point and integer unit speeds. Ziff Davis' CPUmark and FPU WinMark separate these two aspects of processing to compare the different architectures.



Integer scores for the Athlon 850 are significantly higher than both the Athlon 800 and Coppermine 800 CPU's. As the core frequency jumps in 50MHz intervals we should continue to expect this linear increase in performance.



Again, we see a linear trend with the floating-point unit of the Athlon. Where the Athlon 800 was able to beat the similarly clocked Coppermine 800, the Athlon 850 trounces it. Floating-point tests have consistently shown the Athlon victorious over the Coppermine, and FPU WinMark further drives this point home. sharkyextreme.com
