Re: If the RMBS/P4 benchmarks are as good as 2CPU and the Register claim, then the P4 with RDRAM may be worth the heavy cost. Ted, What have you been smoking tonight? On the other 2 benchmarks, the Celeron 600 Mhz beats the P4. chic PS- I'm convinced that stuff is bogus. It's too good to be true the P4 would be that bad.

The big question mark here is wheter Intel choose RMBS because of it's superior capability, or it's financial advatages (wich turned out to be disadvantages..). I mean : the big performer here is the chipset, not the memory. multiple channel DDR-sdram would have done the job as well with lower latency and lower prices. I believe that the K7 with DDR266 will nearly triple it's KT133 scores, or reach close to 1000MB/s, still 30-40% under P4, but it will show that it's a chipset concern not a memory type thing... Just my maybe bashing, anti-Rambus opinion, but almost :) impartial Max
