Tenchusatsu, at one time you posted something along the lines of banias, with its low latency on-die memory controller, providing an upside performance surprise for Intel. That despite it having been originally targeted as a low power Crusoe killer, it's observed performance was competitive with (or better than) P4. Now we see this about AMD's chip with a low latency on-die memory controller: Here is what I think, having seen Hammer engineering silicon in action I suspect that Jerry is revising statements made that were based on emulation and calculations rather than the performance that is engineers were actually seeing. In other words what I think happened is estimates suggested 25 – 30% while the silicon actually provides closer to 30 – 50%. I am basing this on the evaluation system my friend has/had, which was running at 1.5Ghz actual speed and destroying every thing around it performance wise. And I do mean nothing else could touch it. So yea I pretty much believe the that the Hammer 3400 pally 4300 is well within the ballpark. aceshardware.com I've posted before why a low latency memory controller becomes so critical as clock speeds increase. What do you think the chances are that in three years it will be Hammer vs. Banias, with Athlon, P4, and Itanium all gone from the market.
