This is pretty sad news for socket 7. Clearly AGP is still quite
a ways off for the K6 and even farther off for Cyrix, and when it
does arrive it looks like it will be slower than Intel's current
version. To make things worst, Intel will likely have their 440BX
out by the time AGP is workable for socket7, farther widening the gap.
Considering that 1x mode is still not completely debugged for socket7
and the 440LX runs clean in 2x mode, I'd say it looks pretty sad.
Notice the board crashed with a cyrix.

RE: <First Socket 7 AGP slower than PCI>
No need for gloom and doom here, 3 other boards are currently being tested at anandtech.com and at betterchips.com

Also, they said the same thing in the first Intel AGP tests except for the so-called "large scene" texture map test.
