Benchmarks

Overall performance rating

The rating can be calculated using an internal formula, taking into account indicators: test results in programs, year of release, instructions, structure, socket, number of cores, threads, temperature, overclocking technologies, base frequency , and other indicators. The results of the overall rating showed that the Pentium 233 MMX outperforms its rival K6 166 in most parameters. The K6 166 barely gains 33.01 points in comparison with its competitor.

PassMark CPU Mark

Perhaps the most popular benchmark on the Internet. All our CPUs have been tested in PassMark. It includes a wide range of tools for a large-scale assessment of the performance of personal computers, including the CPU. Among them are integer calculations, encryption, game physics calculations, compression, floating point calculations, extended instruction checking, single-threaded and multi-threaded tests. In particular, you can compare the received data with other configurations in a common database. The Performance Test showed a clear advantage of the Pentium 233 MMX processor (35 points) over the K6 166 (28 points). The K6 166 with a score of 28 clearly loses in this test.

Cinebench 10 (32 bit) Single threaded test

It uses the ray tracing method. This benchmark for processors and video cards is already obsolete in our time. It is possible to check many processor systems. MAXON has appeared, and is based on the 3D editor Cinema 4D. The test is carried out on Windows and Mac operating systems. The Single-Thread version in its test uses only one rendering thread and one core. The main speed testing mode is a photorealistic rendering of a 3D scene, spatial light sources, multilevel reflections, working with light, global illumination simulation, and procedural shaders.

Cinebench 10 (32 bit) Multi-thread test

Multi-Core version is another test option in Cinebench R10 that uses multi-thread and multi-core testing method. It should be noted that the number of threads in this version of the program is limited to 16.

Cinebench 11.5 (64-bit) Multi-threaded test

64-bit version of the CINEBENCH 11.5 benchmark — which can load the processor to 100, including all threads and cores. Different from older versions, 64 threads are supported here. Testing the Pentium 233 MMX in the Cinebench R11.5 benchmark gave 0.04 points, which indicates a higher performance of this model. Whereas the K6 166 scores 0.03, far behind its rival in this test.

Cinebench 11.5 (64-bit) Single-threaded test

Good old fully functional Cinebench version R11.5 from the Maxon team. In this case, Single-Core tests occur using one core and one thread. His tests are still relevant today. In tests, as before, ray tracing technology is used, rendering a complex three-dimensional room with many translucent and glass and crystalline balls. Validation metrics — the value of «frames per second». The results of the single-thread test for the Pentium 233 MMX in Cinebench 11. 5 Single-Core showed high performance compared to the competitor, its score was 0.04 points. But the K6 166 itself, scoring 0.03 points in this test, is far behind it.

Cinebench 15 (64-bit) Multi-threaded test

The Multi Core Cinebench 15 version will load your build to the fullest, demonstrating what it can do. It is ideal for the new multi-threaded CPUs from AMD and Intel as it can use 256 compute threads. The test will involve all CPU cores and threads in the process of rendering highly detailed 3D models. The Pentium 233 MMX with a score of 3.69 scores unconditionally more points in the Multi-Core test from Cinebench 15. While its competitor K6 166 is far behind with 2.78 points in the test.

Cinebench 15 (64-bit) Single-threaded test

Cinebench Release 15 is the latest benchmark from the Finns from Maxon. The entire system is tested: both CPU and video cards. For processors, the result of the analysis will be the number of PTS points, and for video cards, the number of frames per second FPS. In the Single Core version, only one thread is involved in rendering. A complex 3D scene is rendered with a large number of light sources, detailed objects and reflections. The single-threaded test of the Pentium 233 MMX processor in the Cinebench R15 program indicates its high performance, the result is 3.65 points. Compared to it, its competitor in the face of K6 166 fails this test with a score of 2.78 points.

Geekbench 4.0 (64-bit) Multi-threaded test

64-bit multi-threaded Geekbench 4 test. Its wide cross-platform support for different devices and operating systems makes Geekbench tests the most common today. It In Geekbench 4 64-bit multi-core Pentium 233 MMX received 88.1 points, which is significantly higher than the K6 166. In this test, the K6 166 receives a very low score of 58.66 — compared to the Pentium 233 MMX.

Geekbench 4.0 (64-bit) Single-threaded test

The current single-threaded version of Geekbench 4 for testing laptops and desktop PCs. The Single-Core version uses 1 thread. For the first time ever, iOS and Android smartphones are also supported in this version of the tester. This product, like its earlier versions, can run on Windows, Mac OS, Linux. The Pentium 233 MMX scored higher in the Geekbench 4.0 single-thread test with a score of 87.6. But its competitor K6 166 is doing much worse — 58.9points.

Geekbench 3 (32 bit) Multi-threaded test

The Multi Core version of Geekbench 3 is a powerful «reliability» test of your CPU and demonstrates the stability of your system.

Geekbench 3 (32 bit) Single-threaded benchmark

Cross-platform Geekbench is often used to evaluate a Mac system, but it will run on both Windows and Linux. The main purpose is to test the performance of processors. The Single Core version of the program loads only one CPU core and one thread.

Geekbench 2

Today there are newer updates, actual 4v and 5v. We have almost 200 CPU models in our archive that have test results in this benchmark. Seriously outdated version of the Geekbench tester 2.

X264 HD 4.0 Pass 1

This is a practical test of system performance by transcoding HD video files to the new H.264 format or the so-called MPEG 4 x264 codec. The number of frames processed per second is the result of the check. This is the most appropriate test for multi-core and multi-thread processors. This test is faster than Pass 2, since encoding is done at the same speed. The MPEG 4 video processing speed of the Pentium 233 MMX model is much higher and amounts to 1.05 FPS. But the K6 166 did a poor job, its speed was 0.76 FPS.

X264 HD 4.0 Pass 2

This is a slightly different, slower test based on video file compression. The final value is also measured in frames per second. The same MPEG4 x264 codec is used, but encoding occurs at a variable rate. It is important to be aware that a very real task is being carried out, and the x264 codec is used in a large number of video programs. The result is a better quality video file. Therefore, the results of the tests realistically assess the effectiveness of the system. When measuring the compression speed of a video file by the Pentium 233 MMX processor in mpeg4 format, the result was 0.23 Frames / s. Its competitor K6 166 showed a much lower video encoding rate compared to it — 0.17 FPS.

3DMark06 CPU

Benchmark to evaluate the performance of the video system and processor. This test is very often used by lovers of overclocking processors and gamers and overclockers. Processors are tested in two ways: AI performs pathfinding, and the second test emulates the system using PhysX. Created using the DirectX 9.0 library by the Finnish company Futuremark. The Pentium 233 MMX showed itself slightly faster in the gaming physics and pathfinding tests, scoring up to 55.05 points. K6 166 also coped with these tasks, showing a good result of 45.84 points.

3DMark Fire Strike Physics

We can say that almost two hundred processors on our Internet resource have 3DMark Fire Strike Physics test data. It includes an accurate test that makes calculations in game physics.

WinRAR 4.0

A familiar file archiver. The tests were performed under Windows. The compression speed of the RAR algorithm was tested, for these purposes huge amounts of random data were generated. The resulting speed in the process of processing «kilobytes per second» — this is the result of the test. Pentium 233 MMX has a clear advantage in WinRAR data compression and packing speed, the result of file processing was 30.04 Kb/s. K6 166 was far behind him, the speed of which did not exceed 18.92 Kb/s.

TrueCrypt AES

Not exactly a benchmark, but the results of its work can evaluate the performance of the entire computer. It has a built-in ability to instantly encrypt disk partitions. Our website shows the results of encryption speed in Gb / s when using the AES algorithm. The program can fully function in various operating systems: Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. It so happened that support for this program was terminated on May 28, 2014.
