65nm Dual Core: The Pentium D 930 - PAGE 6
William Henning - Friday, April 28th, 2006

RightMark Latency

Ah ... memory latency. There is simply no subsitute for fast DDR on a fast Athlon 64. Let's look at the chart.

Every singly Athlon 64, regardless of speed or settings, beat every one of the Pentiums, with the best Athlon result being almost twice as fast as the best Intel result.

Mind you, within the DDR2 pack, the OC'd 930 turns in quite respectable latency numbers, and at stock it is where we would expect.

RightMark Bandwidth

Not a bad performance for the 930 here; OC'ing it did not make much difference as far as memory writes were concerned.
