wbmw - it looks to me like the results show that increasing the Athlon clock speed (however it is done) will not yield a proportional increase in performance due to the memory limitations. So how could the .13u process help unless other changes are made?

Wanna_bmw, Re: Neither the 2000A nor 2200A were using the faster 533MHz bus or memory. Only the 2400A and higher speeds.

Great article: Let's compare a Pentium 4 that doesn't exist coupled with a motherboard that doesn't exist, overclock both and compare them to a regularly available Athlon XP 2000+. This Voelkel guy must really be a genius at benchmarking.

BTW, according to c't the Tehama-E won't support 533 MHz RDRAM at all, only a 133 MHz FSB.

wbmw, the whole benchmarking is bogus. What's the point of comparing apples to oranges? Nobody does that when they want to identify which piece of the system contributes to the speed increases. He should have compared the 2 and 2.2Ghz at 400 to the 2 and 2.2GHz at 533 and for some wow factor add the 2.4 and 2.6 in there.
