Ten,

Show me some Winstone 97 benchmarks. After all, that was what was current when the PII was first released.

Let's see--a good way to get this might be to extract info from Tom's site. On the same infrastructure (socket 7) K6 improved it's Business Winstone 97 score going from 200 to 233 MHz by 6.55%. Improving the P55C-200MHz score by the same percentage, we get a Winstone score of 53.49. The PII-233 Business Winstone 97 score was 57.8. That's an 8% improvement.

I'm willing to bet the K7-500 is 8% faster than a PIII-500 on Business Winstone 99. After all, the K6-III with 2MB on the motherboard is already capable of beating the PII by this kind of margin.

<Remember the PII-233 wasn't much faster than the P55C-233.>

I agree....the cache of the pII233 was 1) double the size
2) it is running at 117,5 mhz instead of 66 mhz

So I think that a p233mmx clocked at 2*133 with 512kb cache
will outrun even a pII266 and maybe 300MHz.

My p200mmx was quite a bit faster at 250 MHz (83 bus) than my
pII233 .

As we all know socket7 cpu's are greatly depending on busclock (and inherently the cache speed).
