Ars Technica heeft een 'Slot One Battle Royale', een deathmatch met een C300A, C366, PII 450 en PIII-500 als level boss. Hoe seniel zijn de oudjes in vergelijking met Intel's nieuwe top model?
However, to be honest, we're doubting that's the whole problem. The important thing to look at here is what makes up the current PIII-500. The Katmai (oops, Pentium III, excuse me) was supposed to have all sorts of nifty stuff going for it--a .18-micron manufacturing process and a 64K L1 cache being two biggies. The PIII-500 doesn't have either of those things, and it shows. With the 500MHz PIII chip, the only substantial advantage over the PII-450 is that extra 50MHz, which, we suspect, is at least partially offset by less aggressive L2 cache timing. These oversights could be remedied with later PIII offerings, but with the current chips, that's where we sit.
