Bij Thresh's Firingsquad hebben ze alle chipsets eens bekeken en daar een leuk artikeltje over geschreven. Ze vinden alle chipsets wel redelijk goed (de KX133 de beste) alleen de 820 is volgens hun een echt waardeloze chipset, een mening waar weinig mensen iets tegenin kunnen brengen:
Back in February, we took a look at the performance of the various chipsets from Intel, VIA, and AMD in games and synthetic benchmarks. While the scores remained close, the Intel BX and AMD 750 chipset were arguably the top two performers overall.
Since then, a lot has changed. For the slot one platform VIA has released newer 4-in-1 drivers which improve the performance of the Apollo Pro133A chipset and, after some delays, the long awaited KX133 chipset is here.
Designed as the successor to AMD's 750 chipset, VIA's KX133 chipset offers a 133MHz memory bus, (the front side bus still operates at 100MHz with an effective clock rate of 200MHz) full AGP 4X support, and also supports NEC's virtual-channel memory. (VCM) We'll talk about KX133 in a bit more depth later in this article.
Zoals altijd is onze 440BX chipset nog steeds erg goed, de chipset die volgens deze poll nog op ruim 50% van alle tweakers mamaplankjes woont .
