Found a good review with relevant tech-benchmarks:
http://www.tech-report.com/reviews [...] dex.x?pg=1

Some results:

memory bandwidth is (*only*) 23% faster with RDRAM as compared with 266MHz DDR

"ScienceMark is the Athlon XP's home turf, which it defends well."
Like 7% faster than a 2.4GHz P4 with RDRAM!

"Plus, the Athlon just cranks on computationally intensive tasks."

One thing to remember about RDRAM/DDR bandwidth effectiveness is that there are a total of two RDRAM desktop chipsets out (one for P3 one for P4), and...11? DDR desktop chipsets total (SiS - 735 and 645; Via - P3 chipset, KT266, KT266a, KT333, P4X266, P4X266a; Ali - Magik 1, P3 chipset; AMD - 761).
I think the next RDRAM chipset will show better use of the available bandwidth.

Interesting that the P4 didn't do better in Serious Sam 2, since it has some SSE2 optimizations..
