Hallo,<br>hier ein paar Auszüge aus den VIA (http://www.via.com.tw) Dokumenten:<br><br>VIA Apollo KT266 Chipset Performance<br>The VIA Apollo KT266 combines DDR SDRAM support with its new high-bandwidth<br>V-Link Bus architecture to provide the highest performance<br>chipset solution for the AMD Athlon.... processor. This platform not only<br>delivers compelling performance improvements for today’s mainstream<br>productivity, entertainment, education, and Internet applications. But it also<br>provide the bandwidth that will allow users to take full advantage of the<br>exciting new generation of memory intensive applications such as intense 3D<br>gaming, video streaming, CAD, and digital video editing, that are appearing<br>on the market.<br>StreamD Memory Performance<br>StreamD is a popular DRAM subsystem performance stress benchmark that is<br>widely used in server and workstation applications and provides a good<br>indicator of memory performance and sustainable bandwidth. The graph<br>below shows the comparative sustainable memory bandwidth of three<br>similarly configured systems based on the VIA Apollo KT133, KT133A, and<br>KT266 chipsets.<br>http://home.t-online.de/home/the.desty/KT2662.jpg<br>The results show that the system featuring the VIA Apollo KT266 and<br>DDR266 SDRAM delivers a 20.8% performance improvement over the VIA<br>Apollo KT133A based reference system configured with PC133 SDRAM and a<br>22% increase over the VIA Apollo KT133 based reference system. This<br>translates into superior performance on applications such as 3D graphics that<br>perform a large number of processor-to-memory transactions.<br>Sysmark 2000 Processor Performance<br>Although Sysmark 2000 is a CPU intensive benchmark where latency is a<br>more critical factor than memory performance, the system does benefit from<br>the greater memory bandwidth of DDR SDRAM, as shown in the chart below.<br>The system featuring the VIA Apollo KT266 and DDR266 SDRAM delivers a<br>3.2% performance improvement over the VIA Apollo KT133A based reference<br>system configured with PC133 SDRAM and a 4.1% increase over the VIA<br>Apollo KT133 based reference system.<br>http://home.t-online.de/home/the.desty/KT2661.jpg<br>Conclusion<br>Combining the enhanced memory bandwidth of DDR SDRAM with the new<br>high bandwidth V-Link Hub architecture, the VIA Apollo KT266 The VIA Apollo<br>KT266 chipset provides the most advanced and scaleable platform solution<br>for building the next generation of high-performance AMD Athlon.... processor<br>based servers, workstations, and PC systems. The VIA Apollo KT266 not only<br>delivers enhanced performance for today’s mainstream productivity software<br>programs. It also provides the bandwidth that will allow users to take full<br>advantage of the emerging new wave of memory intensive digital content<br>applications such as 3D gaming and digital video editing.<br>http://home.t-online.de/home/the.desty/KT2663.jpg<br><br>Hier noch die Features der neuen Southbridge, die nun über den V-Link Bus mit der Northbridge kommuniziert:<br>http://home.t-online.de/home/the.desty/VT8233.jpg
