KZ, was the following one of the three benchmarks that you are referring too?

K7 vs Pentium III benchmarks emerge...is it a
hoax?

A hardware research engineer from Acer who does not wish to be named, has
provided The Register with some comparative tests between the AMD K7 and the
Pentium III.

NB: We're not quite sure why, but the benchmarks did not appear in this story when
first posted. Apologies for that. They're now included.

Oh, and BTW, we haven't tested these configurations. The info was supplied by the
reader mentioned above. So please don't bombard us with hate mails or love mails --
you're always welcome to post your thoughts on our Message Forum.

Since we first posted this story on Saturday, a lot of people have cast doubt on their
veracity. We don't actually know for sure how good they are, but here is the Web site
of the gentleman who originally sent us the information. How good are you at foreign
languages? And is it all a hoax?

Here they are anyway:
