Gamers Depot heeft een review van de Athlon 800 neer gemikt. De benchmarks tonen aan dat de Athlon 800 uitstekend scaled ten opzichte van de Athlon 750, die evenals de 800 een L2 cache divider van 2/5 heeft:
The benchmarks really do tell all don't they? The scores presented here have set new records at the GD labs, and represent just how powerful this chip is. Even with it's "crippled" 1/3 speed L2 cache, the sheer muscle of 800Mhz shines through and tears the Quake 3 benchmarks a new one.Even under 3DMark 2000, the Athlon 800 does manage to edge ahead of the slower chips to some degree. This is the same kind of performance delta to expect in your Direct3D games as well. With this level of CPU power, it's hard to imagine just how far interactive gaming can go when they start making games to really take advantage of the Athlon.
