Stockman, you may not believe my bubbling, but here is the fact:
geocities.com
This guy looks as really excited about P-II. However,
from the first table, "Windows 95 Performance of the
Pentium II", (Winstone 97 benchmark), you may find:
Business WS97 Hi-End WS97
--------------------------------------------
P2-266 64.4 32.4 (66x4)
P2-262.5 63.2 32.0 (75x3.5)
--------------------------------------------
-1.3% -1.8% -1.2%
As you see, the scores are EXACTLY the same, while the
system bus frequency was 16.6% UP! You also may check
another two lines from the table, for 66x4.5=300Mhz, and
83.3x3.5=290,5 and find out that even with 25% faster bus
the scores are the SAME again!
Now "experts" may bubble about the beauty of multiprocessing,
substitute other subjects, quanitify other advantages as long
as they wish, but you CANNOT REFUTE the FACT that the P-II
gains NOTHING from faster bus on real-world applications.
