Thread: BIOS problem regarding to CPU

BIOS shows my 333 bus Athlon is running at 166MHz bus, or sometime the BIOS shows my 800 bus P4 is running at 200MHz bus?

AMD’s Socket 462 (Socket A) CPU bus make use of Double Data Rate technology, the statistics are overstated by 2x to demonstrate data rate relatively than clock frequency, as DDR transfers two bits per path per cycle in its place of one.

Intel processors based on P4 technology make use of a Quad Data Rate bus, the information is overstated by 4x to confirm data rate relatively than clock frequency. QDR transmit four bits per path per cycle in its place of one.
