VIA Apollo KX133 Athlon Chipset - Part 2

The performance difference between the three Athlon chipsets is negligible under Content Creation Winstone 2000. Excluding the lower outlier (VIA 133A), the five other test systems perform virtually identically to one another. The difference in performance can be attributed to normal variations in test scores and isn't significant, with the exception of the 29.2 VIA 133A reference score.

We have a similar situation under SYSMark 2000, the performance difference between the EPoX 7KXA test bed using the KX133 chipset and the Gigabyte GA-7IX (AMD 750) with SuperBypass enabled is negligible The real performance advantage here is of both chipsets over the initial steppings of the AMD 750 chipset, more specifically the AMD 751 North Bridge with no support for SuperBypass.
