Article from Yahoo's MessageBoard: The most important thing: P3 vs K7 by: uchung (37/M/Los Angeles) 11/12/1999 1:00 am EST Msg: 78717 of 78726 Most CPU review sites forget multitasking. Anand's and Tom's BACK to BACK benchmarks consider only number. User's feeling performance for athlon is much faster and smoother than that for P3. Athlon has 128KByte L1 cache and 512Kbyte L2 cache while Coopermine has 32k L1 and 256K L2. (P3 Katmat has 512K L2.) If AMD could advertise this advantage and Coopermine's pitfall, AMD and Athlon will win. Athlon is excellent in multi-tasking compared with Intel's new P3-Coppermine as well as in performance. When recording, internet, gaming and word simultaneously, experienced users say Athlon is much better choice than Coopermine. As new Windows, SW and games require more speed and tasks, Athlon will be proved to be the best. Definitely, Athlon has much better architecture than Coopermine. EV6 bus can provide advantages in multi-CPU computing of NT. PS. Does anybody have login account for Silicon Investor? Please post this or link instead of me. Somebody think wrong information there. messages.yahoo.com Much room for K7's BenchMark by: uchung (37/M/Los Angeles) 11/12/1999 1:27 am EST Msg: 78721 of 78726 Bench Mark test condition is not fair. 1. Motherboard and chipsets needs to be fully developed for Athlon. 2. Current Athlon's L2 cache speed is 0.3times core speed which becomes full speed later. Coopermine has full speed L2cache. 3. 100Mhz SDRAM of Athlon Vs 400Mhz Rambus of Coopermine Next year, new Athlon will outperform Coopermine easily with new mother board and DDR SDRAM. messages.yahoo.com

Goutama, <Changed code names from fighter planes to sports cars (Thunderbird, Spitfire, Mustang) in deference to Dresden.> Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't two of those names, Spitfire and Mustang, also names of fighter planes? Specifically American fighters in WWI or WWII? Tenchusatsu
