CM-ers,
DOH ! oke =)
dikutip dari Anandtech :
For content creation applications and games (in most cases), the 1GHz
Pentium III is faster than the 1GHz Athlon. Whether this is because specific
SSE optimizations or because of the full speed on-die L2 cache of the
Pentium III depends on the particular game and/or application, but for the
most part the Pentium III will come out on top.
Things change once you enter the professional graphics arena, where the
Athlon completely dominates provided that it is paired up with a KX133
motherboard.
For most users, neither of these CPUs is worth the time of day simply
because of their cost, whereas overclocking a slower chip to speeds close to
1GHz would make much more sense. For the Pentium III, reaching 1GHz via
normal overclocking methods may be a bit difficult, but it has definitely
been done before with the Athlon.
In terms of motherboard platforms, the VIA Apollo Pro 133A is now, hands
down, the best platform for the Pentium III. While the BX is still the most
intelligent for those users that have motherboards that support the new CPUs
and don't mind the fact that they run at a 100MHz FSB, for new system
builders, the 133A makes the most sense, especially since there are
motherboards out there based on the 133A that are pretty solid.
For most of you all that will be building systems rather than buying them,
the fact that the 1GHz Pentium IIIs won't be available until Q3 is a big
downside, potentially a reason to go with the Athlon if you feel that you
must have that sort of power soon.
