Performance Comparisons
Performance of the Samsung DDR466 was compared to all of the memory recently tested in:Kingmax Hardcore Memory: Tiny BGA Reaches For Top Speed
New Memory Highs: Corsair and OCZ Introduce DDR550
OCZ PC3700 Gold Rev. 2: The Universal Soldier
OCZ 4200EL: Tops in Memory Performance
Mushkin PC4000 High Performance: DDR500 PLUS
Corsair TwinX1024-4000 PRO: Improving DDR500 Performance
Mushkin & Adata: 2 for the Fast-Timings Lane
Searching for the Memory Holy Grail - Part 2
Memory performance was compared at DDR400, DDR500 and the highest stable overclock that we could achieve and would run Gun Metal 2 Benchmark 2, Quake 3, UT2003, and Super PI to 2MM places. Where the data was available, comparisons were also made at DDR466.
Results are compared for Quake 3, Sandra UNBufferred Memory Test, and Super PI. SiSoft Sandra 2004 reports 2 results for each memory test - an Integer value and a Float value. Results reported in our charts are the result of averaging the INT and FLOAT scores, which are normally close in value. In other words, INT and FLOAT scores were added and divided by 2 for our reported score.

The Samsung module is such a disappointment. I am better off with OCZ 3700 Gold, as it costs about the same, but runs faster.Pumpkinierre - Tuesday, March 16, 2004 - link
Albatron (and others) guarantee 1000MHz P4 (4x250) mainboards (on the box) so you'd expect DDR500 to be the new JEDEC.What is the speed of these CC5 chips(the samsung link doesnt give that info)? They dont seem to be much different to the earlier 5ns chips.

I already have some crucial pc3200 that does ddr500 at 3-4-4 timings with 2.8v.Xelloss - Tuesday, March 16, 2004 - link
"The next bump in the DDR road would be DDR533, but with DDR2 set to launch in the very near future, it is not likely a DDR533 standard that will ever see the light of day."Hmmmm... well, that's what they said about DDR400 as well. We'll see soon enough, I'm sure.
