the Intel machine took about 7 to 8 seconds longer to load the app than the AMD machine, giving the K6-3 a little bit of help. After 3:15 the AMD machine completed the test suite, while the Intel machine came in approximately 15 seconds later at 3:30. ... Tenchusatsu writes: I doubt that the K6-3 can beat a Pentium II which is one speed grade higher. 1. K6-3 400 loads 7-8 seconds faster vs PII-450. 2. K6-3 400 finished test 15 seconds faster than PII-450. Result: K6-3 400 test runtime is 7-8 seconds faster than PII-450. Conclusion: The K6-3 beat a Pentium II which is one speed grade higher. PS: Given the same hard drive, which machine would you expect to load the test suite faster: the faster or slower machine?

Ten , the perfomance of K6-3 When we consider that a Celeron without L2 cache was approx equivalent in performance to a K6 at two lower clock speeds and adding that cache increased performance to the point where the Celeron was slightly faster . Then it does not take a rocket scientist to realise that adding twice the size of L2 cache to an improved K6 core would result in a CPU that regained those 2 clock speeds at the very least , regards , Brian
