Tench - RE: "Source, please. Do you mean Winbench or Winstone? Winbench doesn't say much; even AMD's K6-2 out Winbench's Celeron, but in Winstone, Celeron kicks butt. Cyrix MII has been out of the performance picture for a long time. It's hard for me to believe that MII is a real performer all of a sudden." PR400 - cyrix.com PR433 - cyrix.com According to the PR400 benchmark, the K6-2 outperforms the Celeron. We all know in the benchmarks run by Tom and Anand say the opposite. However, if you see the Celeron system specs, the Celeron system was running on the SiS620 chipset. I haven't seen other benchmarks on this chipset before, but if the Via chips's performance is an indication, the SiS chip performs less than the BX chipset, which Tom and Anand run on.

Tench, Cirruslvr gave you a link. This is what JC had to say. " Cyrix put up some interesting benchmarks on the MII PR400 and PR433. According to they, the PR433 is 7.4% faster at Winstone than the 433MHz Celeron -- If these numbers aren't skewed, I believe that'd solidly put the Cyrix chip around the level of a PIII-450 or better (eg: 5% makes for a 50MHz boost in Winstone generally at those high clock speeds, and Celeron takes some pain for being ona 66MHz bus." ---- Jim
