Without excess words let us pass directly to the benchmark , we will start from daily use application (Compressing / Decompressing) .

Windows 7 Beta 1 7000 Vs Windows Xp Sp3 (Compressing / Decompressing) :

From the last build (7000) the compressing performance was considerably increased and finally an operating system faster than windows Xp in compressing/decompressing applications , the result just impresses .

The Windows 7 7022 performance is almost 3-5% higher than windows XP but in this case 10 to 15 % higher than windows vista Sp1 32bits .

Windows 7 Beta 1 7000 Vs Windows Xp Sp3 (Memory and Some CPu) :

The memory bandwidth was also slightly improved in comparison with windows 7 (7000) , but it was fairly improved in comparison with windows Xp ..

Windows 7 Beta 1 7000 Vs Windows Xp Sp3 (Cache / Memory) :

The new Windows 7 beta 7022 has a faster cache performance we should expect already 70.xxx in the next build . In comparison with the previous beta version, the performance was increased.

Windows 7 Beta 1 7000 Vs Windows Xp Sp3 (HDD) :

The HDD performance is lower in comparison with windows xp but for windows vista and all older windows 7 build , it was fairly improved .

Windows 7 Beta 1 7000 Vs Windows Xp Sp3 (Rendering/OpenGL) :

The rendering and OpenGl performance was improved in comparison with windows vista , the OpenGL benchmark shows almost 10% of boost .

Windows 7 Beta 1 7000 Vs Windows Xp Sp3 (3D Synthetic/Real gaming) :

Alas FurMark fails in this new build ...

AND here the big surprise windows 7 (7022) was the fastest OS in the scene 1 , 2 and 4 , the gaming performance was also improved .

With such performance windows 7 can become the worthy replacement of windows xp , its performance is now very respectable (if not the best) , the memory usage is very moderated in comparison with windows vista .
