It also returns figures for memory speed for L1 cache, L2 cache, & main memory. These main memory speeds are my question. Here's what I got:
P1-233Mhz (I presume a 66 Mhz bus) 142 MB/S Intel 430 chipset
K6/2-350Mhz 100 Mhz bus(pc100 ram) 127 MB/S SiS chipset
k6/3-500Mhz 100 Mhz bus (pc100 ram) 130 MB/s Via Chipset
P3 Coppermine -730Mhz 100 Mhz bus? 242 MB/S Intel 810 chipset
(It's loaded with pc100 ram)
AthlonXP-2.6Ghz 333 Mhz bus (?ddr RAM) 730 MB/S Via ChipsetUnless the Intel chipsets are feeding the ram twice as fast, I fail to see how these make sense. Particularly, how come Intel seems to get 242 MB/S when Via and SiS only get 130 MB/s? How come the humble p233 outsprints a k6-500? Which is real?
I am vague about the Intel stuff because the p3 was _given_ to me, and the p233 is an ex-ebay Industrial cpu card.
I gather there is some difference in the way clock speeds are measured between AMD and intel cpus. The Athlon was reported as 2.075 Mhz, whereas in fact it's a 2.6Ghz. I have seen BIOS detect it as both. (There was a BIOS revision on the Chaintech MB I have the Athlon in to correct the detected cpu speed).
Any ideas? --
