Scumbria & Intel Investors - Anand's Benchmarks of K6-2 400 MHz

Anand has posted his report on WInstone 99 benchmarks fo the 400 MHz K6-2 and various other Intel & AMD chips at different speeds.

The 400 MHz K6-2 is only about 4% faster than the 350 MHz K6-2 WHEN THE NEW BIOS with Write Allocate and Write Merge Buffer are implemented.

Surprisingly , WITHOUT the new BIOS and Write Allocate and Write Merge Buffers implemented, the 400 MHz K6-2 is ACTUALLY SLOWER THAN THE 350 MHz K6-2 !

For comparison, the 400 MHz K6-2 is only 8% faster than a 300 MHz Celeron A !

The 400 MHz K6-2 is 10% slower than a 400 MHz Pentium II and 15% slower than a 400 MHz Pentium II XEON.

Note: All Jerry's Kids Insert Here " 10% Slower but 24% CHEAPER makes ($259 K6-2 400 vs. $323 PII 400 on Pricewatch) the 400 MHz K6-2 the Price Performance LEADER !"
