<font color=red>Semi here's Sharky's data on Tbird sharkyextreme.com Tbird 7.8% faster than classic sharkyextreme.com Tbird 16.8% faster than classic sharkyextreme.com FPU Mark has always been a strong point of the Athlon "Classic", where its floating-point unit comes into play. The scores show the Athlon "Classic" 1GHz slightly (2.8%) ahead of the Pentium III 1Ghz. The new "Thunderbird"-based Athlon barely (.7%) edges ahead of the "Classic" score. sharkyextreme.com Tbird 17.4% faster than classic sharkyextreme.com We are pretty sure that nobody would complain about having any of these computers, but at low resolutions, the Thunderbird-based system is consistently 12-19% faster than the Pentium III system at every quality setting. As the resolution passes 800x600, especially at 32-bit color depth, the Thunderbird loses ground, giving way to the Coppermine/RDRAM GHz machine with a performance drop of 2-4%. Fact is Piii 1.13Ghz Platform just sucks vers Piii 1Ghz as you get now where near the 13% clock difference and your ave is 3% faster. Whereas a Tbird is giving a 10% ave increase at the same clock rate! 11.7% faster sharkyextreme.com You can run but you can Hide! Milo P.S. We all now Sharky as always favored INTC in the past Well times change
