Re: "Intel has a NEW CHIP ! The Pentium III." Interesting how Anand should run all those specific SSE benchmarks, but insists on not even enabling 3DNow! to run his Quake 2 benchmarks (that's the only thing I can think of to explain how WRONG Anand's Quake 2 benchmarks are). So, from Anand's benchmarks suite, I think we can safely conclude: 1) The K6-3 is a faster chip for office aps under Win98 and NT--the bulk of the market. 2) We can't draw any conclusions from Anand's gaming benchmarks because if, after all this time and after having been corrected, he's still incapable of properly benchmarking the AMD chips in Quake 2, all his results are questionable. 3) SSE is great on a small demo of a minor game that won't appear for at least another six months, probably longer. SSE is okay for some speech recognition software. 4) Intel's new chip is just the "same old same old"--although it does run a couple fringe applications a bit faster. 5) Clock for clock, the K6-3 remains the champ. The gap just widens if a (CHEAP!) 2 meg Super 7 motherboard is used. Kevin
