Hi Yatsen, What you're telling is certainly true. But.. What about the price. I mean for the price of one PIII you will get nearly or get even really 2 K6-III. I mean you also have to look at the price performance ratio. Joop Boonen. Yatsen Ng wrote:

The reason for my inquiry is because in the mags Intel always fares much better in the bench tests, while AMD users tell a somewhat different story. Now why is that?
Guess which company pays more to the magazines? :)
Ah, that may be the case sometimes but not this time. You see, the article that I read was published in a European (German). This particular mag is VERY pro Linux. In fact, it's because of an article in this mag that I got SuSE in the first place!
Anyway, the compared the P III's with the new AMD K6-III's and the pentiums scored better in most (all but one) of the benchtests.
