PIII cache speeds

I never understood why intel did not implement 256 kb full speed cache in the core , like a celeron or xeon....It would make the pIII quite a bit faster than CeleronA or pII, but still would be slower than Xeon 512 or 1 or 2 mb versions.

Scumbria, On March 1, there will not be any Celeron 500/550 for sale and Celeron will not have any KNI support. KNI is Intel's secret weapon. Intel marketing will make sure and get this point across to the masses, don't worry!

Scumbria, take away the video card accelerattion and you get a completely different result (same article):

Pentium 3 - 560 23.3 fps
Pentium 3 - 500 21.7 fps
Celeron - 550A 22.0 fps
Pentium 2 - 500 20.2 fps
Pentium 2 - 450 18.1 fps
Pentium 2 - 400 16.7 fps
Celeron - 333 12.4 fps
