The 820 reference system produced a 7 percent better Concurrent Download and Winstone test result than the BX system. Undoubtedly because of a lower cache hit rate (more software running). A 100mBIT/s PCI stream doesn't exactly stress the system. Despite its speedy hard disk, the Micron couldn't match the 820 reference machine on this test, a sign that the Via is less adept at handling concurrent data streams. So much for VC-SDRAM being able to handle concurrent data streams as well as RDRAM. I'm not sure if this is a VIA chipset problem or just a fundamental limitation of VC-SDRAM. But one thing's for sure: This article isn't a very glowing endorsement of PC133 VC-SDRAM's performance. Get real. The machines used different hard drives, among other things. It was a system performance test, not a Rambus vs. SDRAM test.
