RE:"Does this really make any difference? I personally discount ANY benchmarks like SiSoft that don't use real applications, but it looks like the one "benchmark" that embarrassed AMD will soon be neutral in the benchmark wars."

Memory bandwidth bench is nothing more that a beauty contest rigged for P4. WHat does it mean? How does it translate in to real world performance? Obviously it doesn't because the Athlon soundly beats the P4 at the same quantispeed...
Why do these hardware sites include it? Do they get a free P4...? They must.
