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 Sandra reports that RDRAM has about 2.5 GB/s
worth of bandwidth for both ALU and FPU while DDR only has about 2 GB/s of
bandwidth. It's funny to see that DDR performing much closer to it's potential
while RDRAM is still quite a bit off.
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... don't cry to hard when you compare your numbers to the ones
listed below!

PCMark2002
prefers RDRAM over DDR RAM in its memory benchmark. It seems that RDRAM performs
close to 10% better then DDR.
