I was a little disappointed by the review, actually.

Mani - RE: "Thanks, I like it :-))"

And look at it this way - It will only get better as Athlon systems begin to support PC133 or RAMBUST DRDRAM, and AGP 4X.

Camino will also allow PIIIs to scale up with the same improvements, and if the benchmarks hold, I expect Cuontimemine to outperform the Athlon in business benchmarks, and possibly CPUMark 99, but the Athlon will go UNCONTESTED in gaming benchmarks. As soon as Tom and Anand do their review, I will be able to say the Athlon will go UNCONTESTED in most 3D applications until Intel comes out with their next chip.

Oh yeah, it seems like the slower AGP AMD's chips have had on the Super 7 platform won't transfer to the Athlon platform based on the AMD chipset. I wonder how Via and Ali's chipset will do in AGP.
