Anthony, Winstone98 is seriously flawed. According to Tom's benchmarks, the cacheless Celeron 300 (300/100) is faster than M2-200Mhz (200/100). Do you believe that? It is the time to question the honesty of ZD on Winstone98 and Winbench98. It would be hard for me to believe that Winstone98/Winbench98 have not been properly instructed by the mighty Intel.

Anthony, Based on the numbers, it looks like the PII has made up the performance edge that the MII has over the P54/P55 and a 233 MHz MII is roughly equal to a 233 MHz PII Maybe it has more to do with changes in Winstone 98 benchmark itself. Cyrix chips did a lot better in previous versions of the benchmark. Joe
