From The Street.Com: It's all carefully staged and carefully worded. Ask the exhibitors what difference the P-3 makes, and they might as well be reading from a script. "Optimized" is the buzzword here. But dig a little deeper, and the phrasing comes out slowly. "I have to be careful how I say this," says Andrew Neff, vice president of marketing and development for MediaLive -- a Santa Clara, Calif., company that makes the Surf Monkey Web browser for children -- when I ask if the browser performance and graphics quality will be much better than those of an older Pentium. Going from MMX, a graphics feature of the current Pentium II, to P-3 "is a jump, but it's not a big jump," he says. And how would Surf Monkey work using the K6-2 with 3D Now from Intel rival Advanced Micro Devices (AMD:NYSE)? "Oh, pleeease," he says, his face contorting into an expression that says, Of course. Yes, that's right. Smooth as butter.
