850E vs. 854E !!!!

[Hossam]

i know that 850E use RDRAM & 845E use DDR-Ram


but i wanna to see bunchmark comparison "Game. 3D, Application, Internet,"

thanks

i850e wins in every aspect but price.

There is ample benchmarks here at anandtech in the past motherboard reviews...go check them out!!!


Rdram is faster then ddr system for sure...However when that system is running through either mem ratios or overclocked ddr and it can get up to pc3200 levels (400mhz ddr) the advantage of rdram is near neglible or equal....



Why dont you wait about 3 weeks as dual channel ddr boards are going to be hitting the market and dual channel ddr running at pc2100 levels will already be equal to the i850e platform as well as if you run ddr at pc2700 levels in dual channel format it surpasses the i8503 platform quite a bit.....

reported numbers at www.hardocp.com (sandra memory scores)

pc1066 rdram = 3340
pc1200 rdram =~3600

dual pc2700 (333mhz ddr) = 4500

I think he even mentioned dual pc2400 (300mhz ddr) was just at 4000.....

plus theplatform will have built in firewire, usb 2.0, serial ata, support for upcoming 3+ghz cpus and Hyper threading technology.....


BUying a new mobo now without contemplating this as an option would be foolish!!!

I agree with Duvie, plus it depends on the memory you match up with the chipset. PC800 doesn't compare to a good ddr system, you'd have to compare PC1600, which is expensive...🙂

 

[Hossam]

thanks alot for this info ,

can u give me more details about dual channel ddr .... like "which chipset'll support this technology "
how much this'll improve the performance

Right now the unreleased dual-channel DDR chipset is known as "Granite Bay"
I'm not sure what the numbering & lettering will be when it's released...

Quote from roadmap:

Intel E7205 chipset, formally known as Granite Bay, for the Pentium 4 Northwood (and single processor Xeon Prestonia) is expected to be released on October 22nd (perhaps later?). Granite Bay is expected to feature 533Mhz FSB support, dual channel DDR200/266 DDR SDRAM (giving a memory bandwidth of 4.2Gb/s), AGP 8X and Intel's ICH4 South Bridge.

Dang, so I guess the price of DDR modules will start increasing when this is released? Everyone better get some ram now while at these price levels.
