Kash and all, Tom's latest CPU benchmarks in his article entitled "New CPUs from AMD and Intel": www5.tomshardware.com Some interesting highlights from the article: - The K6-3 450 MHz scores a little higher than a Pentium III 500 MHz on Business Winstone 99 under Windows 98. However, under Windows NT, the K6-3 runs slightly slower than a Pentium II 450 MHz. In Highend Winstone 99 under Windows NT (you can't run Highend under Windows 98), the K6-3 450 is slower than a Celeron 400. - Tom includes a graph showing the benefits of L3 cache in K6-3 systems. The scores are 100% for 0 L3, 103.6% for 512K L3, 105.6% for 1MB L3, and 108.2% for 2MB L3. (I believe all the other tests on the K6-3 were run with 1MB L3 cache.) - Tom also throws in a bunch of benchmarks for SSE-optimized software, but he does caution that these benchmark programs come from Intel. - Overall, Tom was pretty underwhelmed by the K6-3. He wasn't underwhelmed by the Pentium III, but then again, he wasn't expecting much in the first place. Tenchusatsu
