I guess this is the ultimate rebuttal to wonderful Tom's Hardware. Or Ali would you have us believe that Anandtech, HardwareCentral, Maximum PC, PC Magazine, PC World, and SharkyExtreme are all biased and Tom is not? NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 24, 2000--From the WinHEC 2000 conference in New Orleans, Rambus Inc. (Nasdaq:RMBS - news) today revealed the results of recent industry-leading, independent performance benchmark tests including those with new gigahertz processors. Reviews based on the latest industry standard performance benchmarks from independent sites such as Anandtech, HardwareCentral, Maximum PC, PC Magazine, PC World, SharkyExtreme and others, report that RDRAM©-based systems visibly outperform similarly configured, commercially available SDRAM-based systems. RDRAM-based systems provide the highest bandwidth and performance while delivering maximum memory headroom for increasing processor speeds. Rambus© memory will be critical to meet the performance requirements of next generation performance desktop PCs, workstations and servers, and consumer products. ``RDRAM is currently one of the most promising solutions for memory bandwidth, performance and latency problems, and is scalable, a distinct advantage,'' stated Sander Sassen, siteleader at HardwareCentral, a leading independent hardware review site. ``In the future, as processor speeds and the multitasking of applications increase, memory performance will become even more important than it is today. RDRAM technology, unlike SDRAM technologies, has the scalability and headroom to handle these increased traffic loads.''
