But as we can see from the real world benchmarks, even though the Athlon
still does better, clock for clock, than a PIII, the difference isn't as

done with a PIII Xeon with

This is _still_ remarkable, since the "consumer" Athlons starting to
trickle onto the market have 64-bit 100 MHz FSB and 512KB L2 cache,
like PII / PIII / Xeon, but run their L2 cache at only 1/3 clock
speed (c.f. full clock speed for Xeon

that's nearly twice as many adds as
