The new IntelliStation models, equipped with Pentium III processors at speeds up to 866 MHz (1), posted the following scores (2): - 2146 on the SYSmark* J benchmark - 376 on the SYSmark* 98 benchmark - 786 on the SYSmark* NT benchmark - 205 on the SYSmark* 2000 benchmark Currently, no other workstation submitted scores that beat these IntelliStation marks (see www.bapco.com). Additionally, the IBM IntelliStation score of 2146 on the SYSmark J benchmark handily took the number one position away from an Intel 1GHz system that registered a score of 1899, a score of 13 per cent less. ... New IBM IntelliStation Z Pro Models Processor Pentium III Xeon 866MHz (3), dual capable Operating system Windows NT and upgradeable to Windows 2000 Professional Chipset Intel 840 Front-side bus 133 MHz Form Factor 7x9 mini-tower Memory 256 or 512MB RAMBUS memory with dual-channel design, 4 or 8 RIMM slots with 2 or 4GB max ----- I'm surprised that this hasn't been more widely picked up. A 866Mhz with dual-channel Rambus beats a 1ghz design. This seems to be just as important as the IBM/DDR or tomshardware news, but no one seems to be paying attention. see: bapco.com - SYSmark J Here's more on the dual-channel rambus design as well as other RAMBUS benefits. hp.com It's not new, but it's a well done article that explains RAMBUS in a way that's not too technical for an non-EE to understand. I think the tomshardware folks just don't get it.
