Intel 925X/915: Chipset Performance & DDR2

925X vs. 875: Workstation Performance
The 875 system with a 3.2C is a better performer in SPECviewperf workstation performance than the 925X with the same speed CPU. Prescott in an 875 board would likely be slower than Prescott in 925X, but the new 925X chipset still cannot completely offset the performance advantage that the C chips hold over the Prescott E processors at the same CPU speed.

Well this has just confirmed my plan for an athlon 64 next - I can't see any reason to be looking towards intel, either now or in the near future (next 6 months).WileCoyote - Saturday, June 19, 2004 - link

Actually now that I think of Intel might be correct. The chipset may be up to 15% faster, its just that Prescott is up to 15% slower.wicktron - Saturday, June 19, 2004 - link

The moral of this story, buy AMD instead.Falloutboy525 - Saturday, June 19, 2004 - link
now it makes sence as to why amd isn't even bothering wth ddr2 till it speeds up
