Intel paranoid? A little blurb from a BBS... JumpJoe Member posted 05-31-99 09:18 PM I posted "Which would you rather have, Coppermine or K7?" And a Intel technical staff quickly stepped in. There are many websites and magazines that will offer performance comparisons between our processors and those of other companies: zdnet.com computers.com t101 pcworld.com The performance data for the Pentium(R) III processors is posted at: intel.com The Pentium(R) III processor features the following: Frequencies of 550MHz, 500MHz and 450MHz Integrated L2 cache (512K) 70 new instructions, including Streaming SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) Extensions for enhanced application performance Memory streaming architecture Concurrent SIMD-FP architecture (No more state switching) New media instructions 8 new 128 bit registers IEEE-754 compliant mode for scientific/engineering calculations FTZ (flush to zero) mode for applications that do not require IEEE precision. The processor serial number Intel(R) support does not comment on the products from other companies, or offer the kind of comparison data you are looking for. This is for a couple of reasons. Companies that do so often appear biased, and it is actually an illegal practice in some countries. Additional posts will be removed. -- Joseph K Intel Technical Support *All brands and trademarks are the property of their respective owners You can find additional support for Intel manufactured processors at: support.intel.com --- Interesting that Intel points one to ZDNet.
