Barton equivalent

[GrahamD]

It seems that the performance rating increase in going from 133 MHz (266 DDR) to 166 MHz on the T'bred is similar to that gained by adding the extra cache in the Barton. This leads to a logical conclusion that a T'bred overclocked to 200MHz fsb should give about the same performance as a Barton at its stock 166 and with the same internal clock speed.

Has anybody got or seen any figures that put this to the test?

I seriously doubt it as 166 = 1.25 x 133 while 200 = 1.2 x 166 so the gain from 166 to 200 is noticebly smaller.

Well the performance rating increase between 133 and 166MHz was indeed there... but AMD made a horrible mistake with the Barton performance rating as an XP2600+ Barton is almost always slower then a XP2600+ 333MHz T-bredB.

So take the performance rating with a little rice of salt when it is about a Barton core.
