See the Fastest 300mhz CPU, K6(2) vs Intel MMX vs Celeron vs K6(3)!

It is a silly benchmark, but I really wanted to know how each processor
perform at 300mhz on 100mhz bus

The test is done by Sandra

Pentium MMX was a 200mhz Overclock to 300mhz @ 3.1v
Pentium II MMX was a old Pentium II 300 on 66mhz bus, overclock to 3x100 bus
K6(3) was a 333mhz underclock to 300
Celeron 300a is 66mhz sorry, couldnt' change the multiplier

I'm sure a true Celeron 300mhz on 100mhz bus should match the K6(3),
anyone with unlock Celerons?

The only problem is that Sandra is in no way a realistic denominator of real world application performance.

 

[Doh!]

cool.. you got a pentium 1 o/ced to 300mhz, easy feat?

Real word application performance doesn't sell systems.. but neato colored "standardized" bargraphs plopped next to display machines do!

 

[Peter007]

Rand, off course this doesn't reflect the real world application

Like I say it is a silly benchmark. By no mean is this meant to be a professional benchmark or the start of Peter007.com

However, I must say that I am most impress with the old Pentium 200MMX.

It overclock to 300mmx, that is the same 50% Overclock achievment set by Celeron 300A and 566

I think Intel didn't want to confuse the Market at the Introduction of Pentium II 233-300mhz

I believe the MicroTimes 4-5 years ago list the 200MMX at $240, and the Pentium II 300 around $600
Intel could have introduca a Pentium 1 300MMX at $300 and it is still competitive to Pentium II 300.

Is there such thing as an Unluck Celeron that can be tested at 3x100mhz?

I don't think that Sandra really cares about FSB speed when putting out those random numbers. In real world, Celeron would have fastest x86 FPU and K6-3 woud be head and shoulders above others in pure integer performance.

Well, I've got a Pentium 200 MHz at home overclocked to 3.5x75 MHz FSB = 266 MHz (which is as far as the motherboard can go) and it is doing it pretty easily even at stock voltage, so I would think it would be pretty easy to kick it up that extra 33 MHz, if my board could, but I can't say for sure.

 

[Peter007]

I don't know about overclocking the Original NON-MMX Pentium 200

I think those only goes as high as 250/266mhz

the MMX ones are really awesome through.

 

[Damascus]

I remember those! 83MHz x 3.5 == 292MHz!
