Which P3 is faster...

[jb20thae]

Like the title says, are a 450mhz P3 with 512 cache and a 800mhz P3 with 256 cache closer in performance than their clock speeds indicate? Would the 800mhz (with 133fsb vs 100fsb) be a no-brainer?

Yep... It's a no brainer. 🙂

the 450 has half-speed cache and is the [ Deschutes ] design. The 800 is the next-generation coppermine design with full-speed cache as well as the FSB jump. Definitely a no-brainer.

If your still confused option 2

 

[alimoalem]

just wondering...why does it matter? you plan buying either?

Actually, it's a [ Katmai ] design. 😉

Dagnabit! I'd thought Klamath, went to look it up, and only found the Deschutes core name for (P2) 450s. Oh well, it has been a few years 🙂

Haha Indeed. Oh good old memories of the golden days when you could clock celeries(tm) 100% 😀
