AMDZone have the low down on the Sysmark 2001 Media Encoder Patch.
They're saying:
Most of you probably don't know this but the Windows Media Encoder in Sysmark 2001 does not correctly identify the Palomino core Athlons therefore the benchmark when testing the Palomino core Athlons has flawed results. AMD just released a patch, which unfortunately my Outlook can't read because it is in .exe format. I have requested a zip file instead. I have posted what AMD says about the benchmark and what Bapco says about it here.
