With Content Creation 2004, the Sempron 3300+ and 3400+ were effectively tied at an average of 27 points. As the results demonstrate, L2 Cache isn't a factor when comparing Semprons of the same clock speed in this test.

PC World Magazine's WorldBench 5.0 is the latest Business and Professional application benchmark to be added to our arsenal of testing programs. WorldBench 5.0 consists of a number of performance modules that each utilize one, or a group of, popular applications to gauge performance. Below we have the results from WorldBench 5's Photoshop 7 and Office XP modules, recorded in seconds.
With WorldBench 5's Photoshop testing, the Sempron 3400+ was best equipped for the task, topping the 3300+ by 10 seconds. In the Office XP SP2 module, the variance was tighter at 3 seconds, still favoring the Sempron 3400+. These two modules seem to benefit from the higher L2 complement when comparing the Sempron 3300+ and 3400+. The Celeron D 335 was significantly slower in the Photoshop test, trailing the Sempron 3400+ by 83 seconds. The Office XP SP2 module wasn't as drastic, but still had the Celeron D 335 trailing by 47 seconds overall.
