Paul and all, Anandtech publishes results of 820 Camino performance tests with DRDRAM:
anandtech.com (Camino chipset review)
anandtech.com (Pentium III 533B and 600B review)

The second review is somewhat of a continuation of the first, but with more comprehensive benchmarking. Here's a quick summary of highlights:

- PC600 RDRAM reduces performance by 3% to 5% compared to PC800. PC700 falls right in the middle.

- Business application performance under Windows 98 is the same under PC800 RDRAM as it is under PC100 SDRAM.

- Business application performance under Windows NT is 3.3% to 7.6% faster. High-end performance under NT is 11.6% faster.

- Gaming performance is 2% to 4% faster in Quake 2 and Quake 3 (and about 0.9% of that improvement is attributable to the AGP-4x over AGP-2x, so the actual improvement due to RDRAM is less). Performance is about 2% slower in Half-Life and Expendable.

- Rendering times in 3D Studio MAX were cut by 21% with PC800 RDRAM compared to PC100 SDRAM. (BTW, this moves Pentium III closer to Athlon in this application.)

- Overall, it's what I expected. Marginal improvements in most tests, better improvements in high-end applications, and slight performance decreases in a few benchmarks.
