Joe,


The latency of the cache is more important that the clock speed, and here is where Intel has an advantage, and higher the clock speed, the more important the latency becomes becomes.

Athlon has a 128K L1 cache, as compared to a 32K L1 cache on PIII. Some benchmarks will scale better with frequency on an Athlon than they will on PIII. Benchmarks which require a 256K cache will scale better on PIII.
