SiSoftware Sandra 2003
Although a synthetic benchmark, it's a popular one, freely available if you wish to make comparison benchmarks. We will be testing the CPU, and MMX speeds.
CPU Arithmetic Benchmark
The scores between both 2400+ ratings were very close. Both beat the Pentium 4 quite decisively, but the Whetstone FPU is owned by the Pentium 4. The FPU has always been one of Intel's strengths, but the victory is a narrow one.
CPU Multimedia Benchmark
Very close again between all 3. The Athlon 2400+ pulls away, by a long shot, in the Integer tests, which is something AMD have always done well on. Between 133FSB, and 166FSB @ 2GHz, there is no clear winner.
PC Mark 2002
As with the SiSoft scores, our PC Mark scores follow a similar trend. 2400+ speeds are close, with the 166FSB giving an extra boost. The Pentium 4 falls a little behind this time around.

AMD Athlon XP 2400+: The 2800+ may be faster at stock speeds, but you'll be surprised what this "budget" CPU can do at a fraction of the price. Oh, it also overclocks like a champ.
