Cpu processor poll

[Hyper99]

They are ViaCyrixIII, Duron, Celeron, Athlon, PIII, K6-2, K6-3, Athlon Thunderbird, Cyrix MII
Out of all these which do you think is the worst?
Which is the best processor of all?

 

[AMDJunkie]

Cyrix MII is the worst, Athlon Tbird is the best.

 

[Doomer]

Best and worst at what ?

 

[Viper GTS]

Cyrix is definitely the worst, but then again it's a nice cheap solution for the people that want a $300 computer.

The Thunderbird has by far the best architecture & potential, but is currently being hampered by it's motherboard & memory options. Once DDR Athlon boards hit the mainstream market, it will probably be the performance leader. Unless, of course, the P4 is already out in mass production.

The Pentium III would be my current choice for CPU leader. True, it's based on old architecture, but currently it has the best across the board performance & compatibility. Ever wonder why P3's & Xeons are pretty much the only choice for the server market?

Viper GTS

 

[Prodigy^]

hehe yeah it's pretty amazing that Intel sits totally on the server market.......

anyway:

worst: Cyrix (hehe)

best: Intel PIII

 

[ANEO]

cyrixmII without a doubt is worst, and i have to go with PIII as best

 

[Daedalus]

Athlon Tbird may be the best BUT in usage I would choose a PIII until the VIA or anyone else's chipsets/Mainboards are more mature.

because ultrasparcs suck?

anyway, does amd use servers based on athlon processors?

 

[IBhacknU]

Best:

Commodore 64

Worst:

VIC20

Why do you ask...Cyrix Boy?

 

[RSI]

MII, Cyrix III, Celeron, K6-2 and K6-3 all suck - the rest are OK-to-Good. My choice? Duron/Athlon/TBird. Intel? no.

 

[jaydee]

Doomer hits the nail on the head. Depends on what you are looking for. Love how you put a lowly Cyrix in there and no mac.

 

[Hyper99]

Now it is my turn
From worst to Best
ViaCyrixIII, CyrixMII, K6-2, K6-3, Celeron, Duron, PIII, Athlon
Could be CyrixMII being worst
Because of the 300mhz with pr 433
while the new Via is true 500mhz and can be overclocked to 800mhz
which is almost in Par with celeron 500mhz
So I could be wrong
Now from worst to best
should be
Cyrix MII to Athlon

 

[ltk007]

best PIII

worst Cyrix

 

[Hyper99]

ltk007,
so AMD kind of goes in the middle?

 

[MWink]

Best: Duron followed by T-bird
Worst: PIII followed by CyrixIII

edit: guess I needed some spaces to get rid of the smily faces.

 

[PCAddict]

Worst: Cyrix MII/MIII

Best: Pentium III (Coppermine)

Honorable Mention: AMD Athlon

 

[Mday]

isn't "cpu processor" a bit redundant?
