Need faster graphics not faster CPUs! by theHippo · 2000-03-04 21:47 · Score: 2 · on More on Athlon Overclocking

According to this Electronics Weekly article, on non-graphics intensive applications like the LINPACK benchmark the Athlon 800 Mhz CPU performs twice as fast as a Pentium III 800Mhz. It goes on to mention that the Quake 3D test which is so widely used is in fact faulty. Underclocking both CPUs to 400Mhz (i.e. halving the speed) and using an nVidia GeForce caused the frame rate to drop by only 2 % at the highest resolution! There is some serious bottlenecks on the video card. Who needs a 1Ghz CPU then?!
