Looks like the CX core works pretty good to me:

K6-2 350: 16.9
K6-2 400 CTX: 17.6

4.14% improvement.

PII 400: 19.4
Xeon 400: 20.2

4.12% improvement.

Damn, a Xeon costs a hell of a lot more to get the same kind of performance improvement. And that's under Winstone 99 where the Xeon's full speed cache should come in pretty handy.

McMannis - Re: "It's also clear that Anand is in love with Celerons and BX boards because he can overclock them...yet he get's an K6-2 engineering sample that won't clock to 500 when other reports say the new core overclocks easily to 500."

Re: "Maybe someone should send him a production chip."

If AMD had any to ship, I'm sure he would have had one "yesterday".

Jim , re. overclocking Celerons
I wonder why it never occured to Anand that Intel has a reason for not
rating those chips higher than their stated clock speed . According to him the Celery 300a will run at 450mhz , yes but for how long ?
If Intel thought that they would last at least until the warranty expired they would likely rate them at higher clock speeds at least to match AMD's 366mhz ,
