I agree!! And I supplied the numbers!
Sandra's memory scores are biased in favor of RAMBUS, BUT the other Sandra scores and Sciencemark's scores are not biased and the Athlon favors rather well (especially considering the Athlon is only running at 1667 MHz).
I'm sure the reason why the Prime95 scores are so bad on the Athlon, is because of the RAMBUS, though.
Fact is, if we DIDN'T use all of the same scores, someone would jump on us saying that we intentionally left out scores that favored the Pentium 4.
You can't please everyone.
I do agree that a "gaming" score should be included. Whether it's 3DMark or Evolva or Q3A... but the person that did the P4 benchmarks (someone who doesn't write for SL) was under the gun.
I asked for the scores all week and he never supplied them. He was just too busy. On the Sunday before the original numbers were posted here, I had asked him one more time to do it and thank God he did. I supplied those numbers to Dave the following Monday. I was happy to get the scores I had received that night. I wasn't going to push it.
In the future, all of my benchmarks will include 3DMark 2000, 2001 and Evolva.
