Looking further at the same silly test of OC'd PPro vs. OC'd Pentium? You do realize, of course, that the Pentium in that test had the processor bus, and hence the video adapter, overclocked too? And the PPro didn't have the bus overclocked, just the multiplier? It's sort of silly to claim that in '96, 90% of software was 16 bit. Office 95 wasn't. And 16 bit software on the PPro didn't look near as bad as x87 software does on the P4. A few things were maybe 10% slower on a PPro than on an equivalently clocked Pentium. This is nothing at all like things being slower on a 1.5 ghz P4 than on a 1ghz Pentium, which looks to be not uncommon for x87 code.
