FWIW, PIII 1.13 GHz reviews

None of the reviewers was too much impressed and each one stressed the limited availability. Dr. Tom didn't even come around to benchmarking due to a missing micro code update and his article turned into what sounds more like a rant than a review:

"... For me as a reviewer that was not equipped with this mystical new micro code the testing of the new Pentium III 1133 was an appalling experience. Intel once used to be the supplier of the most reliable, most stable and therefore most overclockable processors in the world. Today, Intel has finally made a complete joke out of itself. By desperately trying to leapfrog AMD with a hasted release of an unreliable, unstable and thank God unavailable new processor it has finally thrown all its old principles overboard. Let's hope that Pentium IV will not follow suit in the same manner, or I see the days of Intel as a player in the processor area as counted indeed."
