I was reading thru the article (again) as I still couldn't believe the A64 could be beaten by Dothan so easily in games. Then, I notice something that wasn't right. In the Sciencemark2.0 memory test, the results for A64 is particularly low. My A64 3200 winchester + MSI K8N Neo2 + 2 x 256MB Samsung TCCD running 3-3-3-8 1T scores 5305-5320MB/s. Latency is 51.3ns

Changing from 1T to 2T drop scores to 4431MB/s. Latency is 53.75ns.

Wonder how did GamePC achieve a paltry 4395MB for A64FX-55 and a incredibly high latency of almost 60ns....

I do not have a 6800GT thus I couldn't test the game scores.

Yes something ain't right there....mmmm...wonder if the test was rigged, by running 2T because the Dothan wouldn't mind less bandwidth as much as the A64...
