The SPECviewperf tests show once again how the memory speed can affect workstation-class development. The Light-04 test shows a 10% lead in the favor of the KT266A reference board. Because the Awadvs-04 test is more CPU and FPU intensive, all three boards are right about the same on that test. However, in the Drv-07 and MedMCAD-01 tests, the KT266A chipset comes out a winner again by leading the competition by an awesome 26% and 10%, respectively. Now, we just need this kind of memory bus technology in a dual-processor outfit…
Similarly to the SiSoft Memory test scores, the KT266A is sweeping the field again. Leading by 29% in the Read test and by 16% in the Write test, it is no surprise that the KT266A chipset is performing as well as it is in the other tests shown here.
Even though the performance difference is only 2% based on the numbers, this is the largest jump in score since we have shown the PC133 vs. PC2100 results.
