Comanche 4

The 3500+ just edges out the 3400+ in Comanche 4.

Serious Sam SE

However, the 3400+ flexes its L2 cache in Serious Sam SE and comes out ahead by over five frames per second.

3DMark03's overall score isn't supposed to be CPU-bound, but our 3500+ system leads the way. I suspect that this bit of funny business has something to do with our underclocked Radeon 9800 XT, which according to Rage3D's Radeon overclocking tools, was running with the same core and memory speeds as a Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB.

3DMark03's CPU tests are split; test 1 favors the 3400+'s larger cache, while test 2 prefers the 3500+'s memory bandwidth.
