Ali,

I have done the benchmarks on PMMX and MX with and w/o L2 cache

From your benchmarks, PII has weak memory subsystem just like Pentium/PMMX. Intel illegally copied lots of DEC Alpha-related patents and concepts. Does Alpha have relative slow memory subsystem (when comparing to Cyrix 6x86 or K6)?

Ali,

Visit Anand Hardward page and go to PII report under REVIEWS - CPU.
anand.iserver.net

By Anand Winstone97 benchmark and your results on the cacheless PII, a L2 cacheless Pentium II 266Mhz is just as fast as PII-166 w/512K on the same motherboard by taking off 21% of PII-266 Winstone rating. By comparing, a L2 cacheless Pentium II 266Mhz might be just as fast as Gateway 2000 PMMX-200Mhz if GTW does not eliminate the 512K L2 cache.

After shrunk to .25u, Intel will have a tinny die size on PII. In order to move the whole market to SLOT 1/2 or S**T 1, the cache free PII for sub-$1,000 market makes sense. Never under-estimate Intel marketing magic. They are the best of the best!
