Nope. From Anand's Coppermine review conclusion: "The Athlon is no longer king of the hill…neither is the Pentium III E. Overall, the Athlon is still the faster chip on a clock for clock basis." Tallying the benchmarks in that review the Athlon 700 beat the PIII 700E in 8 of 8 benchmarks and tied the PIII 733E. As the processors advanced to 1GHz and AMD lowered the cache clock ratio Coppermines did improve their relative position but not to one of complete superiority. Sure I remember that. As long as you ran old software that didn't use prefetch the Athlon looked better. On SPEC scores the CuMine beat Athlon clock for clock and overall. EP
