AMD K6-2 Processor Review
Winbench 98 Performance
Ziff Davis Winbench 98
CPU FPU Disk Winmark Graphics Winmark
Winmark Winmark Business HighEnd Business HighEnd
AMD K6-2 333 725 1140 2000 5210 166 199
Intel Pentium II 300 744 1530 1980 5170 147 191
Intel Pentium II 333 861 1710 2010 5470 166 218
Intel Pentium II 400 992 2050 2040 5560 193 256
NOTE: Higher Scores are Better
As far as Raw FPU power is concerned, the Pentium II has the title
locked down, however overall the K6-2 333 gives the more expensive
Pentium II 333 a run for its money.
Check out the following URL for a comparison of the AMD K6-2 333
versus the Intel Pentium II. Note that the AMD was installed on one
of the new Super7 boards out that has 100Mhz frontside bus (like the
Pentium II has).

Although the AMD is right in the ballpark with their K6-2 they still
don't have a chip as fast as the 400Mhz Pentium II. Watch out though,
the K6-3 400Mhz is on it's way... stay tuned!!!
