<<Thats a typo stupid, you should have pick that up yourself>>
Hence the LOL, it was sarcasm and pretty funny.
<<See my link above, games that are CPU and FPU intensive the Athlon wastes the P4, plan and simple>>
Wait, what does FPU have to do with the bandwidth of RDRAM? You are mixing two different performance measures. No one said that clock for clock the AMD can beat Intel. Dude you can't even keep your arguments straight.
<<Ask yourself why in bechmarks with Quake3 engine(in Anandtech own reviews) the P4/RDRAM is able to perform better than AthlonXP nearly all the time(forgeting that P4 is 100's of Mhz ahead)>>
LOL this kid is a trip. He thinks the best benchmarks there are - are games.
FYI Quake 3 has nothing to do with bandwidth...ugh. It has to do with it's optimization of SSE and Intel chips in general.
<< It's been proved that the P4's quad pumped bus and it's huge bandwith is pritty useless >>
See same reviews on P4.
PLEASE show me in that article where it says that Intels Quad Pumped 100mhz FSB is useless and prove (as you've stated).
<< AMD know that huge bandwith figures mean nothing and in reality >>
AMD's own FSB(266Mhz DDR) proves you dont need heavy bandwith for todays and tomorrows games, apps to perform on par with a 400Mhz QDR FSB of the P4 and RDRAM. >>
Man, this is starting to get silly. AMD's performance in games has NOTHING To do with it's DDR "owning" RDRAM. It's all about FPU's and graphics cards. As Stated, it is industry known that RDRAM is a superior ram standard, but poorly implimented because of RAMBUS. If bandwidth didnt matter so much, why does AMD support DDR? You don't need DDR to run over 100 FPS on Quake 3. Your argument has so many holes.
That and the fact you base all your "knowledge" and "proof" off one Anandtech article from November 20th, 2000 , LOL. Dude get with it.
If you really go READ THE ARTICLE....it even states why the AMD is a better performer than the P4
"Remember that the Athlon can do more in a single clock than the Pentium 4, making the 300MHz difference in clock speed between the Pentium 4 and the Athlon compared here mean very little." THIS has NOTHING to do with Bandwidth
Lets check this article out.
http://www.anandtech.com/cpu/showdoc.html?i=1615&p=2 This is about the new 133mhz quad FSB for the 2.4 (and 2.53 chips). Read through it and see if you can see the benifits of using a higher FSB.
