My ambition in life is to one day explain
exactly what this benchmark does! All I know for certain
is that it performs ridiculous numbers of fathomless calculations
on an atomic or molecular level that stress the number
crunching prowess of your cpu to its extreme.

The number shown under the column headed "Perf/Athlon1200DDR"
shows the comparative performance against .....wait for
it.....an AMD Athlon 1.2GHz on a DDR platform. A rating
of 1 means the same performance while lower than 1 means
slower and higher is faster. A quick look through the results
shows that the Duron is, on paper at least, very much the
equal of the classic Athlon 1.2 in most areas, though the
L2 performance is clearly lacking.

The chart below shows performance compared
to he current king of the hill, the XP2000+ and also figures
from our earlier review of the Athlon 1.33. The Athlon was
tested on an SDR platform so we need to make allowances
for this fact, but either way the numbers are very impressive.
Despite the potential constraints imposed by the reduced
amount of L2 cache, the Duron 1.3 shows an impressive lick
of speed. A great start for the newcomer, but can it last
the pace? Let's move on.
