Ook bij Sharky Extreme, een CPU Buyer's Guide. Hier lees je wat info over de processors nu op de markt, en ook wat er binnenkort zoal gaat verschijnen in CPU land. Hier heb je bijvoorbeeld wat info over de Coppermine P3:
The most significant improvements that the Coppermine Pentium IIIs will offer over the current generation of Pentium IIIs are the doubling of the existing L1 cache level from 32KB to 64KB and the operation of the L2 cache at full core speed versus the half speed.In raw performance these two improvements should add an increase of approximately 15 to 25% to Coppermine Pentium III CPUs versus current Pentium IIIs when running at identical MHz levels.
In entertainment applications such as 3D accelerated games, the benefits of the Coppermine's improvements will translate to approximately 5 - 10% depending on how new the application is. The newer the app, the better it likely will have been coded by the developer to take advantage of the higher-end functions of both the Coppermine P3s and the Athlon CPUs from AMD. Expect larger speed benefits to appear in applications that begin appearing in early 2000.
