Andreas: I am really impressed about the good performance despite the lower bandwidth compared to RDRAM. I was going to ask if you had seen any other benchmarks than the one at viahardware.com, but then I noticed your zdnet.de link ;-) It seems to confirm what could be expected: Latency of DDRSDRAM is significantly better than DRDRAM, which will yield a nice boost in many benchmarks (esp. "office" and "productivity"-type benchmarks). [for those who didn't check the links, i850 latency on an L2 cache miss is 19% higher than on Via's P4X266]. Unfortunately, none of the benchmarks where the P4 really shines have been included. (well, possibly except Quake3 - virtually the only game where the P4 bests Athlon). I would have loved to see some video-encoding benchmarks - even some of those MS media encoder results ;-). I would expect the P4X266 to take a significant beating on those. -fyo
