wbmw, You must be confused again. From Anand's article, the 1GHz Pentium III whooped the Athlon in everything but OpenGL. Piii was a very good chip, but I disagree with that description, a better description would be that Piii was slightly faster in integer type apps, Athlon was faster in floating point based at the same frequency. That's the major flaw in your analysis, because Piii was constantly some 100 MHz or more behind Athlon, allowing Athlon to rule the benchmarks. The review you posted was done on March 12th, about 6 months before the 1 GHz Coppermine entered general availability (end of August, beginning of September 2000). Another flaw in your analysis is the fact that the real 1 GHz Piii (when it finally became available) competed against Thunderbird, not Athlon classic, which the vapor based Piii competed with. And Thunderbird was at 1.1 and 1.2 GHz at the time Piii became available. You may want to check out these benchmarks: anandtech.com Joe
