On the graph below we can see the results obtained on 3DMark2001 SE. This program measures performance by simulating DirectX 8.1 games. It continues to be a good program to evaluate the performance of games from previous generation, programmed using DirectX 8 API. This program was run in its default configuration.

In this program Sempron 3400+ achieved a performance similar to Pentium 4 3.4 GHz and Pentium 4 3.2 GHz. It was 5.77% faster than Sempron 3100+, 6.28% faster than Pentium 4 3 GHz, 10.89% faster than Athlon XP 3200+, 16.49% faster than Athlon XP 2800+, 25.21% faster than Sempron 2800+ and 48.41% faster than Duron 1.8 GHz.

It lost to Athlon 64 3200+, which was 3.25% faster, to Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.2 GHz, which was 4.98% faster, to Athlon 64 3400+, which was 5.87% faster, to Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.4 GHz, which was 5.92% faster and to Athlon 64 3800+, which was 9.77% faster.
