platform1:
asus cubx-e
celeron300A oc 450(100fsb)
geforce2ultra
256mb samsung pc133 sdram
win98se

platform2:
tmc mvp3 board with 2mb cache
k6-3+450 oc 550(100fsb)
same geforce2ultra
same 256mb samsung pc133 sdram
win2000sp4

you can see that they were running different OS, as it was meant to be a quick test so i was too lazy to spend time installing win2000 on the cubx, so its not a fully unbiased contest. however, i believe that difference had actually given the loser a slight advantage.

i only ran 3 benchmarks:
superpi(1m digits)
celeron took 4:48, k6-3+ took 5:00, celeron has 4% lead.
3dmark01(1024*768*32 default test)
celeron scored 1630pts, k6-3+ 1550 pts, celeron has 5% lead.
quake3(640*480*16, medium quality)
celeron scored 9.6fps, k6-3+ 6.5fps, celeron has almost 50% lead.

You should get better FPS in Quake III with both systems and the difference should not be that large, perhaps its something having to do with drivers.

Otherwise your results look pretty normal.

not really, the quake3 fps looks low only because i was using my stressing demo in this post:

you can download it and see for yourself. 🤣
