Anandtech posted reviews of PIII 500B, 600B cpus
(http://www.anandtech.com/html/review_display.cfm?document=1046 )
and i820 (http://www.anandtech.com/html/review_display.cfm?document=1045 .)
Following is a summary of interesting benchmark info found in Anand's PIII 500B, 600B & i820 reviews, posted by JC (http://www.jc-news.com/pc/)
--- Some very interesting revelations, here's some of the benchmark info that interested me the most in the reviews:
o Camino offers a surprisingly strong boost in Business Winstone for NT, allowing the PIII-600B to jump way ahead of the PIII-600 and match the Athlon-600. There was also a strong boost for 3D Studio Max, but this only somewhat narrowed its performance against Athlon.
o Camino offered little to no benefit in Sysmark, Business Winstone for 9x.
o Athlon-550 is faster than PIII-600B in SysMark for 9x, SysMark for NT.
o Athlon-500 is faster than PIII-600B in Q2Crusher, Q3Demo1, 3D Studio Max.
o Athlon-500 is way above the PIII-600B in Half Life.
o PIII-600B is slower than PIII-600 in Expendable and Half Life.
o Anand reports a 0.9% increase in typical game performance from AGP2x to AGP4x
o In most of the benchmarks, PIII-600B was indeed faster than PIII-600, but generally the difference was marginal.

Thanks to Legato for letting me know that he has heard that HP is going to ditch Xeon in some server models for Athlons. Cool. Gateway who?
