Elmer, re: "CuMine outperformed Athlon upon introduction both clock for clock and in absolute terms."

Nope. From Anand's Coppermine review conclusion: "The Athlon is no longer king of the hill…neither is the Pentium III E. Overall, the Athlon is still the faster chip on a clock for clock basis."

Tallying the benchmarks in that review the Athlon 700 beat the PIII 700E in 8 of 8 benchmarks and tied the PIII 733E. As the processors advanced to 1GHz and AMD lowered the cache clock ratio Coppermines did improve their relative position but not to one of complete superiority.

From Anand's 1GHz Coppermine review: "For content creation applications and games (in most cases), the 1GHz Pentium III is faster than the 1GHz Athlon. Whether this is because specific SSE optimizations or because of the full speed on-die L2 cache of the Pentium III depends on the particular game and/or application, but for the most part the Pentium III will come out on top. Things change once you enter the professional graphics arena, where the Athlon completely dominates provided that it is paired up with a KX133 motherboard."

On this topic of relative processor architecture performance... has anyone seen any benchmarks for the 512K L2 PIII-S processors?
