Cirruslvr, <Check out this comparison at Ace's of the Athlon, Celeron, K6-2, and K6-III all running at 400MHz. (The Athlon is "underclocked".) aceshardware.com Benchmark Athlon Celeron K6-3 K6-2 CPU Mark '99 39.1 32 41.5 26.1 FPU Mark '99 2180 2140 1350 1320 Winstone '99 22.8 22.1 22.9 19.2 Quake 3 Normal 49.8 41 25.8 24.3 Quake 2 Crusher 52 39 40 33 Without L2 cache, the AThlon's performance would go below the K6-III and Celeron's in business apps, like the original Celery. This chart also shows more reasons why the Athlon would benefit very well with on-chip L2 cache. > Nice Summary! Kind of drives home the point that Scumbria has been making on this thread for a while now. Integer performance has nearly topped out with each enhancement contributing to very tiny incremental enhancements. Setting aside the mutithreading gains, the game is in MHz and FP/3DNow/SSE angle. I am expecting Wilamette and Mustang cores to add some cool stuff in that area. Chuck
