Ali,

If you add the higher cost of P-II +$100-$300), there remains very
little justification for the mediocre performance increase(~20-25%).


The advantage is P-II 300 over it's 233 MHz Socket 7 competitors are:
P-MMX 21.7%
K6 12.0%
6x86MX 7.6%

The advantage of P-II 266 vs Socket7:
P-MMX 17.3%
K6 8.0%
6x86MX 3.8%

The advantage of P-II 233 vs Socket7:
P-MMX 10.7%
K6 4.0%
6x86MX 0.0%

Even compared to almost ancient Pentium classic 200, P-II performs
only 40% faster. Or another way of looking at it. Pentium 200
delivers 71% performance of P-II 300 on Winstone benchmark.
