Bah, anche i test ufficiali di AMD danno il TBird più performante del Pentium, ma di poco però. Il Duron invece viene confrontato solo col Celeron e lo straccia di netto. Credo che i risultati siano quelli, anche se sicuramente il TBird è un po' più veloce del Pentium. I test dei Duron non sono falsati perché il Duron non è in concorrenza diretta col Pentium ma col Celly2 che chiaramente anche volendo falsare i test,col suo core Athlon, supera indubitabilmente il Celeron.
Mi vedo tutte le mosse dietro le quinte dei sostenitori Intellimerd per sputtanare il Thunder e farlo passare per un processore che non vale niente di più dell'Athlon Classic!!! ;)

.........no comment....... :(
cmq questo ragazzi è, a mio parere, un chiaro sintomo di come il T-bird (e l'Athlon prima di lui del resto) stia rompendo parecchie uova nel panierone di Intelmerd.......però certe volte fanno davvero schifo......ciao Joe

Avete letto su una nota rivista di PC, le dichiarazioni di Intel????
in poche parole:
"Intel dice che AMD e le sue DDR RAM avranno vita corta, e che il futuro è nelle rambus.........................
Mà.....
sarà anche così
ma io non ci credo

Per rispondere all'ultimo post su RAMBUS vs DDR ecco un articolo interessante :

Intel Continues To Back RAMBUS, But Adopts DDR
Howard Ha - Tuesday, February 15th, 2000 | 1:53PM PT
During a keynote speech, Intel's VP of desktop products, Pat Gelsinger, told press that Intel's memory plans have not changed - much. The company is holding to its plans to adopt RAMBUS RAM as the next generation RAM technology.
In spite of compatibility and technical problems (especially with current Camino chipsets and RAMBUS DRAM modules), high price, lack of availability, and overall loss of favour amongst consumers, Intel is holding fast to its memory strategy. Gelsinger did indicate that Intel will offer DDR DRAM in its server platforms, but added that DDR is "too little, too late" . Comments on the web seem to indicate that analysts and forefront journalists wonder the same about RAMBUS' lumbering gait and lack of ability to hurdle its many shortcomings, while DDR RAM continues to ramp nicely in terms of clock speed.
The keynote then went onto the topic of 2+2 RAMBUS/SDRAM hybrid board configurations, which Gelsinger said will ship in the millions. This may satisfy the many Intel Channel Partners, but hard core enthusiasts are left again wondering: why straddle two incompatible memory interfaces/architectures... yet again? Long time computer hobbyists will recall the more than year long time span during which DIMMS and the older SIMM sockets sat side by side on legacy mobos during, a solution that did not solve much of anything.
The most notable and criticized part of the keynote was Intel's defensive posture: the company has obviously blundered in its planning, and is now claiming to cling to the same memory strategy from the very begining, when really it has adapted the strategy to compensate for a planning oversight. Popular sites covering the whole RAMBUS vs DDR-DRAM issue have noted quite clearly on several occasions Intel's adamant refusal to incorporate alternative RAM strategies into their roadmap. Now that RAMBUS does not to appear to be gaining widespread consumer acceptance at a fast rate, Intel is forced to restructure some of its plans, and this latest keynote certainly appears as damage control by Public Relations - at least to the more hardcore hardware camp.

La configurazione:
Tbird contro Athlons:
AMD Athlon "Thunderbird" 1Ghz
FIC Mainboard (built for Compaq)
256MB SDRAM PC133
GeForce SDRAM
Sound Blaster Live
Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100
Western Digital 18GB 7200RPM UDMA/66
TBird contro PIII:
"We used an AOpen board with the VIA Apollo Pro chipset for the PIII, and an Gigabyte board with the VIA KT133 chipset for the Athlon. By getting as close as possible with chipsets and using the same amount of RAM, we hoped to level out as many factors as possible. Installed in each system was a Creative SBLive! Value, a 10/100 NIC, and a 32Mb GeForce2 GTS card."

Un Thunderbird da 1GHz con GeForce 2 GTS "verrebbe" battuto da un Thunderbird a 1GHz con GeForce DDR.... robe da pazzi

sorry.... non è nemmeno DDR :((((
erroraccio :(

Su Anandtech c'è pure un benckmark dove una ATI Rage Fury Maxx supera un GeForce 2 GTS !!! Andate su Anandtech se non ci credete.
Ed è uno dei siti hardware più seri e rinomati... non oso pensare ai benchmark dei siti meno famosi...

Io ormai mi fido solo di Tom's Hardware...
In quanto a intellimerd e le sue rambus...
secondo me saranno quelle ad avere vita breve, sempre che mai prenderanno vita a prezzi umani.....
