Interesting!

The recent benchmark results with the P3 using the 820E chipset at 1.13Ghz show results better than I would expect with simple clock scaling. The benchmarks completely dominate the 1 GHZ Athlons by amounts in excess of expectations.

I am wondering if Intel did something to make the 820E chipset more efficient than the 820 on the RDRAM interface.

Hi charred water; Re comparing PC66 to PC800. This is unrealistic because PC66 isn't done with the same process as PC133 or PC800, it is an obsolete process.

If you want to make a fair comparison, compare the best to the best. Seems pretty simple to me.

>>My original thought remains the same. PC133 2-2-2 is not shipping from the boxmakers. It is used in the product marketing benchmarks for the chipset to achieve the best numbers. PC133 3-3-3 has 150% higher latency than the showcase parts.

also, the 820e benchmarks are not on intel web site.

should be better than the old 820 i have. maybe dell will upgrade me?
