Albatron K8X800 Pro II Review - Benchmarks - Timings

ScienceMark
As to be expected, given the P4's dual channel memory controller it has a lot more bandwidth on tap. This test is a bit skewed in its favor however, since the memory was running 16MHz faster than that of the Athlon64. It's just here for comparison purposes, not to be taken as what can be expected for a stock Intel 865PE rig. What is interesting to see though, is how efficient the memory controller on die is for the AMD/Albatron setup. While the memory controller is "on die," Albatron still had to route the traces well enough to not impact the results in a negative way. According to all indications, that's certainly been accomplished.
This is a molecular density simulation, and similar to scientific testing done in labs for chemists and physicists. The results show a virtual tie here, with error in testing able to make up the difference between the two.
The Albatron wins out here, coming in three seconds faster than the P4. This is another scientific test, calculating orbitals for various elements, in this case, Silicon.
This is another part of the ScienceMark suite, testing the system's ability to brute force solve encryption. Less than a second separated the two, so even though the Albatron/A64 rig has much less memory throughput to work with, it doesn't affect it too negatively here.
Super Pi
Again, a tight race between the two; a one second lead for the A64. Again, this isn't a stock 3.2GHz system it is facing, so AMD's rating of the CPU as 3200+ seems appropriate.
