Aw, hell, I'll quote practically verbatim (though I'm being very careful to avoid identification of the emailer here, so bear with me... Coppermine config. 1. 128MB SDRAM 2. STB Velocity 4400 (TNT) 3. Adaptec 2940U2W, Seagate Cheetah ST39102LW 4. Pre-production Vancouver 820 Mobo Katmai config. 1. 128MB SDRAM 2. Diamond Viper 550 (TNT)* 3. Adaptec 2940U2W, Seagate Cheetah ST39102LW 4. SE440BX2 Mobo And result was... Cu600* vs. Katmai600 Cu600** vs. Katmai600 Productivity 5~10% 7~11% Multimedia 2% 3% 3D/FP 3~13% 5~21% Internet 10% 10% Remark : with both at 100 MHz FSB *: Coppermine at 133MHz FSB, Katmai at 100MHz FSB Okay, I've no clue how useful this is, though the fellow who sent it to me seemed to know what he's talking about. ;) I have to wonder what these benchmarks specifically are, I'm presuming some of them would be the stuff Intel uses on their website already for benchmarking, like MultimediaMark (which boosts by 7% from 550MHz to 600MHz, by the way). JMark is used on Intel's page as an internet processor benchmark, the PIII-600 is 9% faster than the PIII-550 there. I'd imagine that the 21% for "3D/FP" refer primarily to specfp, which I'm told absolutely adores better caching. Hmmmm.... Anyway, the fellow here had one or two other comments, but they're relatively mild so I think I'll try to squeeze in mentioning them in some future time, sound fair? :)
