What would this CPU be comparable to?

Which Athlon XP would be equal to a 1.6GHz Willamette? Or are these so bad that they could be beaten by a fast PIII?
(Do all Willamette's have 256KB L2, 400MHz FSB, and 18nm?)

I believe so.

I would guess that any barton core athlon would be better, and probably a few T-breds as well.

I'd go Athlon XP 1800 Barton minimum. I still run one of those in a spare computer, decently fast little proc.

Probably around a Athlon XP 1600+ at best. Back in the day the label actually meant something. When a XP was labelled 2200+ it usually was right about par with a Pentium 2.2Ghz

around around <1500-2000 depending on benchmark

From that page it falls around the performance of a XP 2000+ but if you go through most of the other benchmarks it only matches up around a 1600+

Hi, Check the vendors on the internet. Some of them list the actual clock freq of the processors. AMD's claim to fame is that a 1200+, actual clock 900, processes as fast as a P4 1.2. Hope this helps, Jim

yours may be something around P III : 1.2ghz tualatin
