DDR sucks. The AMD760 PC2100 benchmarks are clearly PATHETIC aceshardware.com This is from a 266MHz FSB or 100% faster than the 133MHz FSB PC133, and with PC266 SDRAM or 100% faster memory than the PC133. Yet these benchmarks clearly show that DDR sucks. Anyone from the bashers care to tell us why that is? The numbers are clearly pathetic. And those pathetic machines are even priced at $2000+. Nobody is going to buy that junk when they can get good old PC133. And the i815 PC133 is even faster than the ASUS one. Go figure. DDR clearly sucks. Benchmark DDR 1.2 GHz Athlon SDR 1.2 GHz Athlon CPUMark 99 109 105 SysMark 2000 214 209 Quake III Demo2 (640x480) 178 159 3D WinBench 368 349 Winstone Content Creation 2000 58 54 Windows Media Encoder (seconds) 18 19.4 AutoCAD (seconds) 12 13 These numbers are my own estimations based upon the benchmark graphs in AMD's DDR presentation, and I can't guarantee their accuracy (though they are fairly close in any event). The tested configurations were a Gigabyte 7DX with PC2100 DDR SDRAM and an ASUS A7V with PC133 SDRAM. Both systems were equipped with 256 MB of RAM total as well as 64 MB GeForce 2 GTS video cards using the Detonator 6.27 drivers. You can find more details regarding the benchmark configurations on page 17 of the DDR presentation linked above. As you can see, the average performance difference is about 10% depending upon the benchmark.
