<First, the Pentium III has only a 100 MHz front-side system bus, compared with the Athlon's 200 MHz bus.>

This is increasingly going to be the theme we see on the marketing side. It may not be worth much for most users but there is a "wow" factor when the sales guy says AMD bus is twice as fast as Intel's.
