You can see, our informal scores nicely reflect the scores of a professional review.

Few things-

# I predicted, low latency is the reason for ultra high performance of A64s in this benchmark. This prediction proved true.

# Though there was no A64-FX vs. A64 3400+ score in our chart, I though A64 will be faster than FX because of non-ECC memory. This prediction also proved true.

# Prescott core enhancements (2x cache, better branch prediction) makes it more compeatetive, but it's still lot slower.

# non-ECC dual chnnel memory will make S939 A64 faster in this benchmark.

Most dont have any degree in electronic or software just experience.So often people that you can meet here can be better that some so call pro.

That 1 of the reason toms is respected they all have big degree.

I dont like french test

Professional review, haha I wouldnt call what online sites do as professional.

If this post has attitude, seems to be overly aggressive, rude, distasteful to 99% of the users here, and shows a zealous defense of Intel... It’s probably Spud.

Which is what matters.

He may be a great doctor, but man, his reviews tend to suck ass at times; the only places I know where his opinion is still so respected, is this forum and his own mind. And this Bert Töpelt dude might be a misunderstood genius with enough degrees to wallpaper his sleepingroom with, he doesnt have a clue and can't even read his own damn charts. Same for that Frank vogel or whatever his name. Those guys are clowns.

As far as the Prescott goes, I agree with Ace's Hardware's conclusion ...

"It is clear that the Pentium 4 EE and 3.4 GHz Pentium 4 "Nortwood" are Intel's CPUs for the present, and that Prescott and Tejas are more a vision of the future than anything else. Of course, that won't stop Intel from selling Prescott's to the millions of people who don't know the difference between "C" and "E" ..."

It doesn't seem to matter what Intel does, they still sell lots of processors to the average consumer based solely on the Intel name. It must me nice to have that kind of marketing clout.

Yup, agreed. But if intel underperforms for an extended period of time (like 2 years at least), this might suddenly change, and they might get perceived as "that old company" selling "those old and expensive pentium chips" which are worse than this "new" company (amd) selling new generation 64 bit chips. Might take a few years, and would require a very distinct performance lead for a extended time, but it could happen. People are dumb enough to believe Athlon is the successor of Pentium you know.. and those old Pentiums have been around since they where kids
