PC World tests IBM's 1 GHz Pentium III PC

pcworld.com

Dell, HP, IBM introduce pricey systems that run Intel's fastest chip yet.

Intel strikes back Wednesday, launching its 1-GHz Pentium III processor just days after Advanced Micro Devices' 1-GHz Athlon made its debut. The chips will be scarce at first, but they're fast: An early 1-GHz PIII system edges systems powered by the 1-GHz Athlon. AMD won the race to 1 GHz; Intel wins narrowly for best performance. [165 for PIII to 154 for Athlon/Compaq on PC WorldBench 2000.]

PC WorldBench 2000 is based on 11 real-world applications: Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and Visio; Lotus WordPro and 1-2-3; Netscape Navigator; Intuit Quicken; Adobe Photoshop; and Corel PhotoPaint.

Re: "what's the Vcc (and corresponding power consumption) for Intel's 1 GHz PIII? I don't see it listed anywhere yet"

1.7v


Thanks, EP.

So that gives Intel a 5.5% edge in voltage over the Athlon at 1 GHz. What current does one use for the power calculation (P=IV, correct?) ?
