LoCaL stuurde een link op naar deze Thunderbird 700 benchmarks van de Duitse c't die laten zien dat de T-bird 700 iets betere presteert dan een gelijk geklokte Pentium III. Het verschil met een Athlon classic is echter nog steeds niet denderend te noemen, een winst van ongeveer 5% in Quake III en SysMark 2000.
AMDs new processor Thunderbird is superior and also still lower-priced to the Pentium III with same clock in far sections. In the c't laboratory a Vorabversion, which operated with 700MHz, could already demonstrate once it's efficiency. The Thunderbird has both under Windows 98, under Windows 2000 and under Linux the nose in front. Only at particularly Pentium III optimized software the the Intel competitor could maintain ground.

One expects versions from 700 mc/s to 1 GHz. However the signs compress themselves that AMD wants to show also a 1,1-GHz-Version. Besides one will be able to see also well cooled over-clocked versions, approximately from the Kryotech. VIA on the own Computex Website the demonstration of a 1,4-GHz-Systems, this had time-long already announced however had in the meantime again removed.
