Tench, anandtech's numbers were done on pre-release 3-RIMM i820 board. Intel had to slow the memory interface to get it stable, as you know. And anyhow, with the SysMark 98 business benchmark, RDRAM/i820 was only 2.4% higher than PC100/BX, much less than the performance increase from PC100 to PC133 on the Athlon.

Using the "real" i820 chipset and motherboard, I think you'll find that RDRAM's advantage evaporates.
