Hi sylvester80; Your numbers come from a review of the Tyan DDR motherboard on SharkyExtreme. For reference, here is the article:

Naturally, since you're a thread moron, (See: #reply-14483598 for your statements on Timna, if you have already forgot them), you picked and chose the numbers to support your case.
You picked out all the cases where the PC133 CL2 system beat the DDR200 CL2 system (but wait until DDR266 CL2 machines get benchmarked), but you left out the cases where the DDR200 system shined. For example, this 28% performance improvement:
640x480 (Torture1,Max) DDR: 85.4, SDRAM:66.7

The final conclusion on the article is:
So as the benchmarks show, the DDR1600 memory in the beta Tyan Trinity A762 motherboard provides a significant though not massive speed boost over PC133 CAS-2 SDR SDRAM in our ASUS A7V, at least with the Athlon 1.1GHz processor. And remember, this is a pre-release motherboard, so Tyan expects there will be more speed gains before the board is released.

The thing to remember with this benchmark is that the PC133 system has CL2 latency (13ns). This is the fastest SDRAM memory available. In fact, the Rambus heads have been suggesting that it was unfair to compare PC800 RDRAM to PC133 CL2 SDRAM because of the rarity of this memory type. By comparison, the DDR is the slower 200MHz type, not the faster 266MHz that will be standard. The latency is equivalent to CL2 PC100 (20ns) which is the same latency (more or less) as CL3 PC133 (20ns).

P.S. Another quote from the same article:
Over the mid-term, motherboards with DDR chipsets will hit the market in late 2000 and early 2001, and will likely quickly move into the volume lead for performance desktop systems.
