Jim, Quiz: Why is the more expensive DRDRAM outperformed by the much more affordable PC133 SDRAM? A: Because Intel hasn't written the benchmarks yet that make DRDRAM look good! SERIOUSLY!!! Look at this BS Intel is spewing - ""The benchmarks used don't reflect a real-world situation - say where you'd have Word and Excel running concurrently," commented the Intel spinmeister with a commendably straight face. "Today's benchmarks run their tests consecutively, which doesn't give Rambus a chance to show how well it performs when there's a lot of heavy memory usage. "We're working with the major benchmarking organisations to develop more realistic test methodologies which will show the kind of performance of which Rambus is capable."" theregister.co.uk Intel has also just claimed the benchmarks used in their testing of the i815 and i820 chipsets "don't reflect a real-world situation"! I bet Intel is hard at work making Willy benchmarks as we speak!
