"Our experience with the KryoTech Cool 800MHz Athlon system has been very good so far. This system has proved very stable and we will continue to hammer this system in our Lab. This 800MHz Athlon system is definitely by far the fastest system ever touched by Tom's Hardware Guide. If you want the fastest Athlon system available and have $2200 bucks lying around look no further than KryoTech's Cool 800Mhz Athlon system."

"The Athlon's prowess on integer-based code was readily demonstrated on our ZD CPUmark 99 tests. Clock for clock (in this case, at 600 MHz; there's currently no PIII/650), the Athlon outperformed the PIII by 27 percent. Part of the reason for this performance difference is design--the Athlon has microarchitectural advantages over the PIII that translate into higher performance on both integer and floating-point code."

"The big news? Intel no longer makes the fastest x86 processors on the market. That distinction now passes to AMD, and not just because its 650MHz Athlon bests the Pentium III (and Pentium III Xeon) chips by 50MHz. On our WinScore tests, the 600MHz Athlon-powered systems beat the three 600MHz Pentium III-powered systems by an average of 14.6%. That means the 600MHz Athlon-powered systems performed like a 688MHz Pentium III--if there were such an animal."

"Mikrodatorn har testat en Athlon-processor (tidigare kallad K7) pσ 600 MHz och kommit fram till att den Σr 45,6 procent snabbare Σn Pentium III i det geometritest som finns i testverktyget 3D Mark 99 Max. Testpanelen konstaterar att Athlon Σr den tvekl÷st snabbaste processorn som nσgonsin testats."

"I don't have to give you a conclusion here, the benchmarks speak for themselves, the Athlon is the fastest desktop x86 processor on the market. It would take at least a 700MHz Pentium III to start to beat AMD's Athlon, but even if Intel does release a Pentium III 700 ahead of schedule, the price of a lower clocked but faster Athlon will still be lower than a 700MHz Pentium III"

"The Athlon is definitely faster, MHz for MHz, than Intel's Pentium III, in nearly all applications. It's a faster processor for gaming. At the shipping prices today, it's also a little less expensive than the Pentium III is. It seems as though the claims of it being a "true 7th generation processor" are also true."

"In real-world game benchmarks, the Athlon is substantially faster than the Pentium III at the same clock speed. This difference becomes lessnoticeable at higher resolutions, but this is mostly the fault of underperforming graphics cards."

"Right now we don’t have benchmarks up (look for that in a few hours), but we just got back from QuakeCon 99. There they used an Athlon 550MHz, running Windows NT and with 128MB of RAM with an ATI Rage 128 Pro. Everyone was called upon to join it and all that were there late Saturday night did, including my self. The announcer last stated 130 people had joined the Athlon and it still had tremendous room to go."

"Intels, vid presslΣggningen, snabbaste modell, 550-megahertz Pentium III, Σr distanserad, tillintetgjord och chansl÷s."

AMD Benchmarks

"Resultatet er opsigtsvµkkende. Athlon slσr Pentium III i 21 af 22 mσlinger. Pentium III leverer samme ydelse som Athlon i Θn mσling, men Intels topmodel slσr ikke konkurrenten et eneste sted."

www.computerworld.dk/Vis_artikel.htm?ArticleID=3771

Vi vil lade mσlingerne tale for sig selv og blot konkludere at Intel virkelig skal oppe sig for at nσ AMD's nye flagskib. En ting krµves dog for at AMD igen kan blande sig i de stores selskab...De skal kunne levere i rigelige mµngder, for der er ingen tvivl om at Athlon bliver meget efterspurgt

"The results speak for themselves, Athlon is able to beat Pentium III in almost every benchmark and it leaves PIII particularly far behind in Intel's former strongholds. If Athlon would only be faster in office applications most people wouldn't have said much about it, but its strength in the floating point department makes it a great gaming CPU, it offers a wonderful platform in workstation environments, especially for CAD and 3D-rendering, and in SMP-environment with a large L2-cache it would be a beautiful server CPU as well."

"AMD will have a hard time satisfying the demand of Athlon, because whoever can afford it will try to get one as soon as possible, including myself."

www.tomshardware.com/cpu/99q3/990809/index.html

"Half-life is one of today's most polygon intensive games, and, as you can see, the Athlon has a lot of potential here. The Athlon FPU mops the floor with the PIII (Bob, you were right on this)."

"It will take a 1350 MHz Celeron to beat the Athlon in 3D-geometry crunching power!"

"Even though I was not much of a fan of AMD in the past with the K6 line, I have to admit that all of that has changed. The Athlon is a truly amazing processor line that is surely putting fear in Intel’s future plan for market share. The combination of a brilliant superscalar microarchitecture, 200MHz EV6 interface, superscalar floating point, up to 8MB of L2 cache and the largest 128KB L1 cache on the market make the AMD Athlon the most impressive CPU on the market."

"PC Week Labs' benchmark tests of a reference system found AMD's 650MHz Athlon chip to be up to 13 percent faster than Intel's 600MHz Pentium III."

"Overall the Athlon gets very high marks for overall performance and compatability. "

www.upgradecenter.com/reviews/cpu/athlon

"I belive AMD has a winner on its hands; the Athlon is a very high performance processor for a PC; second to none. Intel finally has some real competition in the high-end x86 market."
