Anyone have an idea what the performance delta is between these two chips?
Willamette 1.8GHz, 400MHz FSB, 256k cache
Northwood 2.6GHz, 400MHz FSB, 512k cache
?
Both used with same PC133 SDRAM (many Willamette benchmarks came from RDRAM and not SDRAM)
The only hint I have is this:

I tried to find other reviews from 2002-2003 but not much luck. I'm thinking that since most AthlonXPs also use the same PC133 SDRAM, its numbers should be close enough for practical purposes.
