Published Stats for Broadcom BCM5700 versus BCM5703

Has anyone seen any published statistics for the throughput of the Broadcom
gigabit ethernet chipsets, specifically BCM5700 versus BCM5703? The Dell
cards with BCM5700 sell for next to nothing. I would like to get a sense
of how much performance I am giving up at maximum throughput on a file
server.

Broadcom data is found here; they are not the same. The 5703 adds a
Media Accwess controller.

I'm less interested in functions than throughput. I had glanced at the
Broadcom site but had not found performance charts.
