* - Test results reflect the use of a software patch which allows the Microsoft® Windows® Media Encoder
7 codec to utilize SIMD processor instructions on the AMD Athlon™ 64 Processor 3200+. This software
patch is not publicly available.
AMD installed the benchmarks using the manufacturer's CDs or downloads available from the
Internet. The benchmarks were installed using the default locations and settings. Specific
installation instructions, execution instructions, or changes to the default settings can be viewed
by selecting the name of the benchmark above.
II. Hardware And Software Configuration

III. Testing Procedure
AMD Management asserts that the following procedures were used by Performance Marketing to
test and record the benchmark results for each benchmark in Section I:
Testing Methodology
1.Ensure the configurations for a specific benchmark are configured as stated in the configuration
and testing section for each benchmark. Execute the benchmark three times.
2. Perform the coefficient of variation ("CV") calculation using the three results. The CV is
calculated by dividing the standard deviation of the three test results by the mean of the three test
results.
3. If the result of the CV calculation is less than one percent ("1%"), then the results are within
tolerance. If the result of the CV calculation is more than 1%, perform another run of the
benchmark and record the results. Calculate the mean of all test results and use the three results
closest to the mean and recalculate the CV. (Note: This step is performed until the result of the
CV calculation is equal to or less than 1%.)
4. Take the three test results that were used to successfully pass the CV calculation requirements
and calculate the average of the three. This average is documented as the reported benchmark
score.
