AMDs Thunderbird depends Pentium III AMDs new processor Thunderbird is superior and also still lower-priced to the Pentium III with same clock in far sections. In the c't laboratory a 700-MHz-CPU could demonstrate already once their efficiency. The Thunderbird, which will come as new Athlon processor on the market, has both under Windows 98 and under Windows 2000 and under Linux the nose in front. Only at particularly software optimized for the Pentium III the Intel competitor could maintain ground. Compile Linux Kernel Quake 3, chamfered Pov Ray 3.1 BAPCo Sysmark2000 (lower values are better) (higher values are better) (higher values are better) (higher values are better) Thunderbird 700 mc/s 138.4 s 86.9 fps 560 PPS 151 Pentium III 700 mc/s 139.4 s 84.4 fps 489 PPS 147 Athlon 700 mc/s 153.2 s 83.1 fps 544 PPS 143 With the tested processor concerned a Vorabversion, as it made AMD available hardware manufacturers. It is possible therefore that copies from series production achieve something other results. Wants to have which prices AMD for the new processors, could be eruieren from various sources likewise - they are officially not yet authorized however by AMD: 750 mc/s: 180 US Dollar 800 mc/s: 250 US Dollar 850 mc/s: 333 US Dollar 900 mc/s: 450 US Dollar 950 mc/s: 605 US Dollar 1 GHz: 850 US Dollar How already reports , AMD wants to present the new Athlon Prozessorgeneration on coming Monday for the initialization of the Computex in Taiwan officially. One expects versions from 700 mc/s to 1 GHz. However the signs compress themselves that AMD wants to show also a 1,1-GHz-Version. Besides one will be able to see also well cooled over-clocked versions, approximately from the Kryotech. VIA on the own Computex Website already for a while the demonstration of a 1,4-GHz-Systems, this had announced however had in the meantime again removed. A detailed test of the AMDs to new Thunderbird brings c't in output 12/2000 (starting from 5 June in the trade). ( jk / c't) babel.altavista.com Select German to English milo
