DFI NT72-SA i850E Motherboard Review
DFI NT72-SA i850E Motherboard Review - PCSTATS
With Intel dropping support for RDRAM and adopting dual channel DDR for the Pentium 4, it's obvious that RDRAM will be soon be taking a less important role in the P4 mainboard markets.

Benchmarks: Sandra 2002, PCmark 2002

Sisoft Sandra 2002 Source: Sandra

Sandra is designed to test the theoretical power of a complete system and individual components. The numbers taken though are again, purely theoretical and may not represent real world performance.

Here are the SiSoft Sandra scores for those who like theoretical benchmarks.

PCMark 2002 Source: MadOnion

PCMark is a new benchmark from our pals at MadOnion which a whole system benchmark. It can be used on desktop PC's, Laptops and even Workstations and tests everyday computing from home to office usage. PCMark specifically stresses the CPU, memory subsystem, graphics subsystem, hard drives, WindowsXP GUI (if WinXP is used), video performance and even laptop batteries. This benchmark was released March 12, 2002 and can be downloaded from Madonion if you would like to give it a test run on your computer for comparisons sake...

Processor PCMarks Ranking
1. GNB MAX Dual DDR - 133/266 6684
2. NT72-SA - 133/1066 6884
3. NT72-SA - 140/1120 7076

Memory

1 GNB MAX Dual DDR - 133/266 7464
2. NT72-SA - 133/533 7026
3. NT72-SA - 140/1120 7501

The only real portion of PCMark that is interesting is the memory scores... Dual Channel DDR scores higher because there is slightly more bandwidth (4.2GB/s vs. 4.1GB/s).
