Windows XP SP3 boasts speed boost, testers claim - TechAmok
Windows XP SP3 boasts speed boost, testers claim - [software] 03:36 PM EST - Nov,26 2007 - post a comment Citing tests from performance testing developer Devil Mountain Software, the
report says the upcoming
Service Pack 3 for Windows XP will bring meaty performance increases that
will make XP significantly speedier than Windows Vista. To be more specific,
Devil Mountain Software claims it discovered that the latest pre-release version
of XP SP3 brings a whopping 10% performance gain over XP SP2 with Office 2007.
Vista SP1 and XP SP3 are both scheduled for the first half of next year.
Devil Mountain ran its OfficeBench suite of performance benchmarks on a
laptop equipped with Office 2007, Microsoft's latest application suite. The
notebook -- the same unit used in the Vista/Vista SP1 tests earlier -- featured
a 2.0-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 1GB of memory. The results reported
that XP SP3 delivered a 10% speed increase over SP2, the service pack released
in 2004.
According to the Office performance benchmarks, Windows XP SP3 is also
considerably faster than Vista SP1. "None of this bodes well for Vista, which is
now more than two times slower than the most current builds of its older
sibling," said Barth.
