Here is something to brighten everyone's day.....ok, it's only from Gamespot, UK.....but I haven't seen any other benchmarks. I can hardly wait for sharptooth..... Also, I cut and pasted from www.voodooextreme.com, so I apologize if the formatting is a little off or if I've inadvertenly cut-off a score. Here is the link to the article: <http://www.gamespot.co.uk/news/1998/12/1339.html> Can anyone say MMX2? -Scot <begin quote> Katmai shows little over P2 - 2:00am MST - Billy "Wicked" Wilson Ian Howie just sent word of an article over on GameSpot that discusses Intel's much ballyhooed Katmai and how it compares to the current Pentium2. Great bit here, even some benchmarks. Here's a snip from the scores: Business Winstone 99 Katmai/500/100 22,2 Pentium II/500/100* 22,2 Pentium II/450/100 21,2 Pentium II/400/100 20,3 Pentium II/350/100 19,0 K6--2/400/100 18,6 Quake II (3.19) (800x600) K6--2/400/100 56,4 Pentium II/500/100* 56,0 Katmai/500/100 55,9 Pentium II/450/100 55,6 Pentium II/400/100 55,3 Pentium II/350/100 54,7 3D Winbench 99 Katmai/500/100 485 Pentium II/500/100* 473 Pentium II/450/100 465 Pentium II/400/100 458 Pentium II/350/100 448 K6--2/400/100 439 Tests used the Null Device 3DWB99 (800x600) Katmai/500 2070 Pentium II/500* 1770 K6--2/400 1120 Lighting & Transformation Katmai/500 63,3 Pentium II/500* 36,3 K6--2/400 36,4 Transformation Katmai/500 85,1 Pentium II/500* 78,7 K6--2/400 58,2 New CPU--Mark 32 (cycles/sec) Katmai/500/100 38,8 Pentium II/500/100* 38,8 Pentium II/450/100 34,2 Pentium II/400/100 31,7 K6--2/400/100 29,9 Pentium II/350/100 27,9 Windows NT 4.0 Business Winstone 99 Katmai/500/100 31,2 Pentium II/500/100* 31,4 Pentium II/450/100 29,5 Pentium II/400/100 28,3 Pentium II/350/100 26,3 K6--2/400/100 25,6
