RE:"Did you mean to say K6-III in the above statement? So you are saying
that K6-III has a higher performance compared to PIII. I am confused."...
Clock for clock a K6-III is faster than a Pentium III, integer.
About a speed grade faster.
It's just when you run all the "made for Intel" benchmarks where the P-III wins some.
Either way you probably wouldn't notice the difference, KNI and 3DNOW aside.

<So you are saying that K6-III has a higher performance compared to PIII.>

Clock-for-clock, K6-III has the integer performance of a Pentium III at once speed grade higher, meaning that a K6-III 500 MHz (if they can ever produce one) has the equivalent performance of a Pentium III 550 MHz on applications that don't use the floating-point unit.

Floating-point is a different story, but that's what the K7 is supposed to fix, right?
