RDM - Re: "I expect floating point performance of Pentium III to be significantly more that 20% slower than K7 at the same MHZ. This is just a guess however until we can benchmark the reality. "

You can benchmark the REALITY TODAY.

The REALITY is that the Pentium III is a shipping product and the K7 is not shipping and won't ship for four more months - at least.

I guess that makes the K7 FPU 4 months SLOWER than the Pentium III.
