Re: Pentium R

The Pentium-R III processor 1 GHz achieves the highest PC performance scores ever, based on today's most current industry standard benchmarks. The Pentium III processor 1 GHz achieves a SPECint2000(1) benchmark rating of 410 and a SPECfp2000(1) result of 284, versus 355 and 256 scores, respectively, for an Intel Pentium III processor 800 MHz. Using the BAPCo's SYSmark(1) 2000 running under Windows(1) 2000, the Pentium III processor 1 GHz delivers a score of 188, besting the previous record of 170 held by an Intel Pentium III processor 800 MHz. For Internet performance, using Ziff-Davis' Internet benchmark iBench (using Windows 98), the Pentium III processor 1 GHz outpaced the 800 MHz by 14 percent for loading complex Web pages
