Benchmarks
Before we get into discussions of the pros and contras of AMD's model number policy, I suggest we have a look at the benchmark results scored with AthlonXP 1800+, which is in actual fact running at 1533 MHz. I want to be frank with you and admit that I am not really satisfied with the benchmarks we did, which is why I will supply you with the charts only and spare you any of my comments. I have requested a lot more benchmarks from our lab and the guys there have started running them. Please feel free to send in your own benchmarking suggestions. They will be posted as soon as possible.
