The Corona system really performs here, with bandwidth numbers higher than we've ever seen before. The CPU score of 567MB/s is 17% above the 1.2GHz system equipped with normal SDRAM. More impressive though, is the FPU bandwidth score of 779MB/s – a full 43% more than the 1.2GHz system paired with a KT133 motherboard. Now that we've seen theoretical numbers, let's take a look at something a bit more tangible. sharkyextreme.com The score we've gleaned from 3D Mark 2000 sharply contrasts with our WinBench 2000 numbers. Using Athlon optimizations, the DDR system surpasses all of the other Athlon systems by a significant margin, in addition to besting everything Intel can throw at it. Originally, when we received the review system, we found that the Direct3D .dll files that were included had been taken from a “future release” of DirectX, skewing our benchmarks to a degree. In order to rectify this, we overwrote the files with versions from DirectX 7, putting our scores inline with what we had originally expected. Performance with the new files is significantly improved, but since the other systems have been tested with DirectX 7, we'll save these results for when this future release of DirectX becomes public.
