From h0db on Yahoo.. Pentium-3 + RDRAM KILLS T-BIRD by: h0db (40/M/Tysons Corner, VA) 8/1/00 11:21 am Msg: 143804 of 143804 planethardware.com Sorry AMDroids, but the differences in scores can not be explained by mere MHz alone. Like Rambus has always said--if your CPU clocks above 1GHz, you will easily see the difference. Here's what Quake3 Timedemo 640x480 (Fastest) shows for a P-3 1.13GHz vs. a 1GHz Athlon T-bird, on a KX133 board with CL2 PC133 SDRAM: P-3 1.13GH + RDRAM: 170.8 fps T-bird 1GHz + PC133: 149.9 fps That is a HUGE difference, and it is just as large on the other benchmarks. This is on a single-rambus-channel i820 board.
