It was a hot, windy day when Deputy Duron burst in the door of the AMD County Sheriff's Department. "Sheriff XP! Sheriff XP!, you're never gonna guess who just blew in with the tumbleweeds...".
Sheriff XP1600 looked up from his stack of registry entries, amused at how worked up Deputy Duron could get sometimes. "Who is this time?" asked the sheriff.
"I was just in the Cheiftec Saloon, and you wouldn't believe who I saw roughing up on T-Bird...".
"Well, are you gonna tell me today, Duron?"
"Cell...Cell..Celly the Kid!", stuttered the deputy.
Xp was stunned. A month ago, he had locked up Petey P4 for loitering, and now the most wanted chip in the county was in town. Could Celly really be stupid enough to try and bust his big brother out of jail?
"Round up the mobo's, boys, there's gonna be a showdown...", XP said with a grin.
Meanwhile, in the saloon, Celly the Kid was just finishing up a video compression, when an ol' timer, Pappy P2, ran through the door, shouting, "XP's a comin'...XP's a comin'...". Celly knew that he would have to stand up to the sheriff, if his big brother Petey P4 stood any chance of getting out of jail. It was now or never. He stood up, strapped on his SDRAM, and stepped outside the saloon.
Sheriff XP saw Celly coming out of the bar, and began to feel a little funny. "Damn, the kid has grown some since the last time we met", he thought to himself.
"Celly the Kid, drop your RAM, and come with me, son...you know you can't beat me. The time has come to give up, so come quietly, and there won't be any trouble...", the sheriff said, with a slight tremble in his voice.
"Sheriff, you may have got my brother, but I got a little more fight in me than that...You gonna have to beat me fair and square..."
"Celly, I know you're at 1503Mhz, just like I am, but my 143FSB will take your 136FSB anyday...do you really think you can beat me?", the sheriff gloated.
"Your FSB may be higher, but without your DDR, your no match for me...I take after my daddy, Pentium 3, too much to get beat by you!", said Celly, with a prefetch gleam in his eye.
The sheriff thought about the situation for a minute. True, he was at 143FSB, compared to the kid's 136FSB...but could Celly be right? Could prefetch and the lack of DDR make that big of a difference? He glared at the kid...
"Celly, you got to the count of three...either turn over your RAM, or go down in flames...the choice is yours"
Celly knew there was no backing down from this challenge. His brother had already fallen to XP...how many more would follow? The reign of terror in AMD county had to stop, and Celly knew he was the one who had to do it.
"Benchmark!", he cried, and the shootout at the 1.5Gb corral began...
Celly mounted his Abit VH6T mobo, and commenced to running a slew of math, mmx, and memory tests. Sheriff XP mounted his own mobo, an MSI K7T Turbo Limited Edition w/RAID, and started the same torture tests in Sandra...
Celly shot off an arithmetic Drystone of 4148, and a whetstone of 2020, and while XP could only get off a Dhrystone of 4125, he countered strong with a whetstone of 2062...
Celly then fired a round of mmx shots, with an integer iSSE of 8200 it/s, and a floating point iSSE of 10179 it/s. XP was shocked! He could only counter with an integer iSSE of 8083 it/s, and a floating iSSE of 9476 it/s!
Celly finished the shootout with a memory bench...he rallied with an Int buffered iSSE bandwidth of 1017Mb/s, and a float buffered iSSE bandwidth of 1001Mb/s. XP fell to the ground with his last effort, an Int buffered iSSE bandwidth of 986Mb/s and a float buffered iSSE bandwidth of 976Mb/s...
After what seemed like an eternity (but in actuality was only a few seconds), the tests were done...and the sheriff lay in a pool of his own electrons, at 38C, wondering how he could've gotten beaten by the littlest kid in the Intel family! Celly walked up to the sheriff, and peered down at him from above, at a cool 30C...
"You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting...", he said, and walked off in the direction of the jailhouse.
The story above is my interpolation of a series of benchies my buddy RainMaQer and myself ran over MSN messenger a couple of nights ago. I took the opportunity to bench with him, because he is NOT running DDR memory, and our chips were clocked the same speed. The FSB was in his favor, but as you can see, the results were not.
I would like to say right now that this is in no way a flame or a dis on RainMaQer's sytem...you got a good chip, bro, and when your DDR mobo comes in next month, I know you will take that thing to the moon and back
I just wanted to print these results for those of us who actually wanted an unbiased test between the tA1 and the XP, with SDRAM memory, and I wanted to do it in a humorous way.
