Paul,
Re -- This overclocker dude successfully ran the Intel Pentium MMX (0.35 micron process) up to 290 MHz to compare it to a 300 Mhz Pentium II.

Looks like more competition for the K6. The Radio Shack people who buy the k6, will probably buy the MMX/pentiumII to see how much they can overclock it by. Looking forward to those benchmarks and comments.

Also the overclocked pmmx puts k6/233 to shame, no increase in power?

Paul, RE: Intel MMX at 290 MHz

Did you notice that the AMD K6 running at 250 MHz was only 0.7 Winstone points (1.2%) below the 290.5 MHz Intel chip?

He also said that the MMX chip running at 290 MHz was a good match for the Pentium II at 300 MHz.

This means the K6 at 266 will be close to matching the performance of the overpriced P2-300.
