Intel is very clever. Even without Katmai instruction support the Katmai will appear faster than the Pentium II. The cache is larger and the Mhz will be higher. This ploy is just like the one they used on the Pentium MMX...where most people didn't know if they would need MMX but upgraded anyway because the chip was faster.
Yet to be seen if Intel can fool the consumer twice but the faster Mhz will help suck in the buyer.
