Analysis
Figure 5 shows the results for the Intel 2GHz Xeon .18 and Xeon .13 using two different graphics
cards: WildCat 5110 and Quadro2 Pro. The extra cache in the Xeon .13 processor does not seem
to make any performance difference in using the Wildcat 5110 card. The Quadro2 Pro card shows
a lot more performance improvement using larger cache Xeon .13s. The Wildcat 5110 card
performs significantly better than the Quadro2 Pro card in almost all of the ProE benchmarks,
which leads to the conclusion that the graphics card performance is a lot more important in
determining the system performance in 3D applications, compared to processor performance.
Next, the test compared the performance between a 2GHz Xeon .13 and a 2.2GHz Xeon .13 using
the same two graphics cards.
