Seems to me that Tony mis-stated. The only time the Celeron out paced the K6-3 as on FPU extensive stuff when 3DNow was not enabled.
Plain and simple, The P-II core slings a more powerful FPU than the K6 core. We all know this, we all have known this. Intel has ridden this line od FPU hype for a long time. The K6-3 won't address it but the K7 damn sure will. Until then, Intel gets to brag on the benchmarks that use a lot of floating point calculations where as the K6 relies on 3DNOW to make up the difference.
