Unreal Tournament 2003
UT2K3 s a real system killer, and can bring many systems to its knees. We used the , which are excellent tools in testing various resolutions and detail levels. We selected the CPU test, which uses the dm-inferno map.

No surprises here. The IC7 holds a slight lead over the IS7.
Quake 3 Arena, 640x480
It's getting old, I know, but Quake 3 is still a decent benchmark for almost anything. For motherboards and CPUs, we run at the lowest settings and fire away.

The IS7 makes a valiant effort in keeping up with the IC7, but it's clear that the Canterwood holds the fort. At Street Racer settings, the IS7 makes dramatic improvements, but so does the IC7 with the same settings enabled. Like the IC7, the IS7 shows excellent performance when overclocked, and it runs at these settings with total ease. Not bad for a chipset geared at the mainstream user.
3D Mark 2003
We're still up in the air about 3D Mark 2003 here at VL. I'm not a big fan of the summarized scores, but there are a couple of areas of the benchmark I do find useful. Today, we'll be doing the CPU tests.

As we've seen in the benchmarks today, similar performance between ABIT's implementation of the Springdale and Canterwood.

ABIT IS7 Max II Advance Motherboard: We take a look at the ABIT IS7 Springdale today, and if our benchmarks are any indication, this mainstream board demonstrates that the Canterwood is not the only game in town.
