We have a similar situation with the 550E at 825MHz running Unreal Tournament. A very impressive score of 41.3 in the UTBench test, one of the highest scores we've seen from an Intel CPU (don't be fooled by the relatively low frame rate, UTBench is a very intensive test). The 500E at 750MHz isn't far behind at 39.8 fps and even the 133MHz FSB settings are faster than the fastest BX settings we were able to run.

Unreal Tournament loves the higher FSB settings offered by our Trinity 400 test bed (Apollo Pro 133A), the 550E at 825MHz is pulling in an easy first place and the 500E at 750MHz, once again, isn't far behind.

Unfortunately if you look at a clock for clock comparison, the Apollo Pro 133A (694X) platform continues to fall behind the old BX.
