Rambus/Pentium III Benchmarks shine! Sharky's conclusion (in part) "It's clear that the RDRAM-powered i820 PCs, using 800MHz CPUs dominate the Athlon-based rigs, which we believe is due to the low throughput potential of PC100 SDRAM. When the second generation Athlon core logic sets arrive on mainboards in January, complete with their AGP4X and PC133 SDRAM support, we expect the gap to narrow. Until that point, and even perhaps until DDR-SDRAM supporting Athlon mainboards arrive, nothing can touch an RDRAM powered PC when it comes to moving data across the system bus." This one could have compiler optimizations in it. "While the SYSmark2000 results didn't shock us, the 3D WinBench2000 scores did just that. For reasons currently unknown (thanks to the newness of the benchmark) the Intel CPUs are dominantly faster than their Athlon counterparts, even at the same MHz frequency." sharkyextreme.com
