Intel Investors - FURTHER PROOF that Tom PabstSmear was completely WRONG when he bashed the 1.13 GHz Pentium III : hardwarecentral.com "Looking back over the broad range of benchmarks we’ve run, the different platforms we've tried out and different configurations we've tested with to measure the performance of the 1.13 GHz Intel Pentium III, we can honestly say that we’ve run into no troubles, instability or heat production-related issues while conducting our benchmarks, which is a good indication of the CPU’s stability and compatibility. Although others report differently, we didn’t have any problems operating it with just a normal sized heatsink, albeit manufactured out of copper, while running at its rated core voltage. The CPUs temperature never exceeded 50C even when we ran the most strenuous tests on it; it just wouldn’t budge. In summary, Intel again proved to be able to take its P6 core a step further, upping the frequency to 1.13 GHz, another milestone that proves the scalability of the P6 architecture. It's designed a CPU and an architecture that combines the best of all previous generations, implementing support for the SIMD instructions, one-die L2 cache, MMX, as well as a 256-bit data path to the L2 cache and numerous other features. Even though these 1.13 GHz Pentium IIIs are going to be hard to come by, they represent the pinnacle of performance and are the fastest x86 processors on the market. " No wonder Herr Uberclockershmuckermeister hasn't had anything to say on this subject in over a week !!! Paul
