For those wodering why their system gains lower scores than others,I've got an
interesting example:
My desktop is S754 sempron 2800(256 L2)@2.4(300x8)-1GB DDR533(SingleChannel,1T) with GF7600GS scoring 36s in 1M. sandra2007:Mem BW= 4054/4054,CpuArithm=8698/7362
My laptop is Celeron M 2.4(Northwood,256 L2)-512MB DDR266 in single channel and
integrated ATI graphics(340M) scoring 100s in 1M. sandra2007:Mem BW= 1119/1124,CpuArithm=5397/4522
As you see while both systems have identical cpu speeds, the performance difference
is huge which can be attributed to the following factors: more efficient AMD64
infrastructure than the aging Netburst,integrated graphics greatly reducing
performance by sharing system memory,DDR533 vs DDR266 &...
Now that we are waiting for Intel's NGMA, Core is scoring better than K8.K8 is aging
and requires some juice to effectively compete and I think it won't occor until K8L
arrives. I can roughly compare Netburst,K8 and Core as: K8 is 25% faster than Netburst,K8 is 25% slower than Core and Core is 50% faster than Netburst.
