[Pifast]350 vs 725 vs 740 @ 1.3 ghz

[Thorry]

I just thought it would be nice to see the different Dothans out there on their stock FSBs compared at the same clock speed to see cache impact and FSB impact.

So I got my P4P800-SE, one of my CT-479 and put in the 350 running at 1.3 ghz (which happens to be stock for this CPU) since the celly doesn't allow any MP changes this was the speed to go with.

I popped in the 725 to see what's the difference between 1.3/100/1MB and 1.3/100/2MB in Pifast.

Then I popped in the 740 to see what's the difference between 1.3/100/2MB and 1.3/133/2MB in Pifast.

So it's not a question of which CPU clocks the best but just what exactly is the difference in performance between the different blends.

Hopefully this is usefull to somebody.

Simply put: the 1 MB extra cache gives you 2 secs Pifast @ 1.3 ghz, the 33 mhz extra FSB also gives you 2 secs Pifast @ 1.3 ghz.
