AMD Athlon "Thunderbird" 1.33GHz/1.30GHz

Having recently gone into production, Serious Sam is a brand new game and although we are still using the public beta, the performance should be representative of the final game.  The standings here are identical to that of UnrealTournament.

The picture under Mercedes-Benz Truck Racing changes dramatically, as the Pentium 4 achieves an even greater performance advantage over the Athlon than it did under Quake III Arena.

So we have provided you with a total of four game benchmarks, two of which are relatively new games, the remaining two being older engines.  In half of the games the Pentium 4 was faster but in the other half, the Athlon was faster.  This decision is getting tough isn’t it?
