Check out the Athlon's performance while running Win NT, the OS the Intel's chips do best on, according to Elmer - aceshardware.com "In [Winstone 99 on] Windows NT, the Athlon is 10% faster than the PIII, while it is only 5% faster in Windows 98." Even in High-End Winstone on NT, the Athlon is faster than the PIII by a healthy 10%, approximately. This may be the first time an AMD processor has ever beat an Intel processor in a high-end Winstone test running on NT. Extrapolating the data, I would guess an approximately 700MHz PIII Katmai would equal a 600MHz Athlon. But since there will be no such a thing, I would guess a 667MHZ Cuontimemine would beat a 600MHz Athlon. I say that because while the PIII 450 is 5.6% faster than a 466 Celeron, adding more L2 cache and doubling the bus speed should easily speed up Cuontimemine to closer to the Athlon's capability. But by then, other companies' chipsets will be out and the Athlon will use PC133 RAM, so that should help the Athlon a bit more.

~~~AMD Athlon Review #10~~~ arstechnica.com 10 in less than 12 hours. Another record made by AMD! This site shows the Athlon mopping the floor with the PIII in Win NT!

~~~AMD Review Athlon #11~~~ tomshardware.com Let's see what Tom says! Warning: This review is WAY too click-happy, and there is no table of contents so you have to click your way through an explanation of how the Athlon works, something other websites had up months ago...
