Athlon MP 2000+ Review
Posted by: Hooz on: 03/13/2002 10:36 PM [ Print | 2 comment(s) ]
Due to a miscommunication between myself and AMD, I wasn't quite ready for the launch of AMD's new Athlon MP 2000+ today. Never fear though, I took some time today to organize my thoughts (and numbers) into a review for you to kill some time with.
If you're interested, check out my look at AMD's latest and greatest, the MP 2000+. See how it stacks-up against a pair of 1ghz Durons, a pair of 1.2ghz MPs, and a pair of 1800+ MPs.

Nah ... we need a Xeon review ;-) Seriously though, if you throw all of the Athlon MP's on a coordinate plane, you will see an exponential curve of performance tlock ... it's like a 1/2 power curve, in fact. The thing that's going to start holding the Athlon back is that it will have obscenely multipliers (not just "real" multipliers such as the P4 has at 22x but the effective ones as well). We've already seen how much that hurts with the PIII, where an 800E MHz (100 MHz bus) performed as well as a 733E MHz (133 MHz bus, but no 'B' because there wasn't a 100 MHz bus model as well). AMD's going to have to up the FSB pretty soon ... So far though, the P4/Xeon is scaling nearly linearily on the same old 400 MHz bus, and with 533 MHz just around the corner ... Once again we've saved civilization as we know it. And the good news is, they're not gonna prosecute! |
