<< PC Labs reviews new K6:>> One of the lamest article I read. What is the point of writing the article if they just show Winstone benchmark ? Where are all those 3D game benchmarking that Intel touted to blow away the K6? Maxwell

RE:" PC LABS review "AMD will improve clock speeds on the K6-2 in the coming year, with planned speeds reaching 350MHz and 400MHz. However, it's doubtful that AMD's processors will net as big a jump in performance as Intel's Pentium II did when its speed increased beyond 333MHz. This is because the 333MHz Pentium II had a core bus speed of 66MHz, and that core bus speed increased to 100MHz with the 350MHz and 400MHz Pentium II chips. In contrast, the K6-2/333 already has a core bus speed of 100MHz." Hummm. What did Intel gain going to 100MHz bus? 1%? Jim
