Tench: For nForce, any CPU benefit from prefetching will have already been realized by Palomino. The prefetching done by nForce is likely beneficial only to the integrated graphics, just like the extra DDR channel. This was not the case with the preliminary benchmarks, but then these were all supplied by NVIDIA and as such should be viewed with a good portion of skepticism. According to NVIDIA, their prefetching is radically different than the one employed by Palomino and the two complement each other nicely. Again, the manufacturer's claims should always be taken with a grain of salt - regardless of who the manufacturer is, so I guess we will just have to wait for 3rd party benchmarks to surface. -fyo
