<Re: 820 Performance improves when software drivers are written to exploit the platform strengths.>
Message 13851972

You must be joking, right? First, Win2000 is no close
to Win98 in performance, all is different -
file cache handling and driver policies,
read-ahead optimizations and such. Second,
both 113.7 and 358.9 Mb/sec are bogus
numbers for hard drives, you know this indeed,
so the whole benchmark is bogus.

So, which platform strength were you talking
about?

Jim,

Great news from the article you posted from The Register:

Initial hard disk SiSoft Sandra ratings under Win 98 were a disappointing 113.7 Mb/sec. After upgrading to Win 2K and the lovely new Ultra ATA 5.01 driver, the performance improved to an impressive 358.9 Mb/sec. How do these guys achieve this kinda improvement?

It appears that most of the problems in the technology have been Intel's, not Rambus's. Get the bugs ironed out and viola!

Dave
