Tom's Hardware benchmarks K6-3 and PIII

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the blow-your-hair-back dept.

Christopher Thomas writes "Tom's Hardware Page has finally posted comprehensive benchmark results for the Intel's Pentium III and AMD's K6-3." The quick summary is that Intel must be experiencing deep fear right now- the most significant change from the P2 is the cost. Fortunately the rumors of the 1ghz P3s are flying fast and furious. If you can't beat 'em, up the clockspeed.

  1. 1 GHz P3 by Taliesin · · Score: 2

    Should we really be getting excited about a 1 GHz P3? The article I read said it was probably being cooled by liquid nitrogen, which _probably_ means it won't be shipping anytime soon. In fact, I think the article said AMD was likely to have a 1 GHz chip before Intel, plus the hype (which may be unreliable, granted) is that the K7 will be faster than the P3 at similar clock speeds. Intel watch out!
