Hardware One heeft benchmarks gepost van hun supergekoelde PIII die ze op wonderbaarlijke wijze op 1GHz hebben draaien (vraag niet hoe ze de multiplier lock hebben weten te omzeilen). Om het nog leuker te maken hebben ze ook nog een Celeron richting 633MHz geklokt:
What do these numbers tell us? Well, they show that 993 MHz Celeron is 35.3% faster than a 500 MHz Pentium III in running demo1 at 800x600x16. The 993 MHz Pentium III however is a massive 48.1% faster than the 500 MHz Pentium III.We can see that at higher resolutions the performance takes quite a hit and you’ll need quite some extra MHz to really push the envelope. The 633 MHz Celeron really shows some muscle, although the gap between 500 MHz and 633 MHz isn't that big. This is really where we need to push the VooDoo2's harder as the Pentium III scores clearly point out. The brute force of the 993 MHz Pentium III sets a new level of performance that even a VooDoo3 or a TNT2 Ultra won’t be able to beat with an non-overclocked CPU.
