AMD's performance ratings....

[bunker]

Just noticed this and I thought I'd share.

At home I have an XP1800+ and a PIII 600 both running folding

They are both currently running the same protein so I can make a good comparison.

The PIII is running at 19 min per frame and the XP is at 6 min per frame

600 mhz x 3 = 1800 mhz

6 min x 3 = 18 min

I know the PIII is actually running at 19 min, but I thought it was pretty damn close. A real world example of the performance rating in action!

SETI shows the PR rating about right too ,if anything a tad conservative,especially compared to a P4

Thanks for the info Bunker
