925X vs. 915 vs. Athlon 64: Workstation Performance
It was quite a surprise to see no advantage at all for 925X over 915 in SPECviewperf workstation tests. This is one area where the performance tweaking of 925X would be expected to stand out, but doesn't.
Across the board, there is such little performance difference between the 925X, 915, and nF3-250 Ultra that we would be hard pressed to pick one over the other.

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
