Sharky Extreme's review of the 600 MHz Pentium III:

sharkyextreme.com

On the 3D and gaming benchmarks that the reviewer ran, the Pentium III 600 MHz possesses a 4% to 11% advantage over the Pentium III 550 MHz. That's pretty good for a 9.1% increase in clock speed.

Other notable quotes:

(on the starting price) Utilizing a .25 micron manufacturing process and the standard 100MHz front side bus speed, the new P3-600 is being offered at the lowest launch price an Intel desktop flagship CPU has been offered in the past 15 years.

(on the growing benefits of SSE) As support for Intel's SSE instructions grow we're seeing larger performance disparities between the P3 CPU line and the Celeron CPU line which aren't attributable to MHz level alone.

Tony,

Some people are still waiting for the Cubs, White Sox, and Red Sox (sigh) to win the world series.

I waited 15 years for the Broncos after Elway showed up. The 1989 earthquake was the sign I needed to give up on the Giants however. ;^)
