I'd like to see if there is any difference between the WinChip, Winchip 2A, and Winchip 2B at the same FSB and clock rate.

Yup - me too. Still waiting for the C6 and W2A to arrive in the post - looks like the closest I can check it will be Christmas 😀

Thanks for all feedback, for now decided to park the MP6 one, and start a new challenge. Some would say IDT WinChip2 was one of the worst - so I want to put it to the test. 😈

winchip2 is not especially bad, its winchip which is the slowest socket7 cpu per clock. winchip2 is much better and is very close to k6-2 in most games.
see my results here:

winchip2 is far better than winchip and comes close to k6-2.
winchip2a is simply winchip2 updated to support higher fsb and fractional ratio, winchip2b is updated with newer process and lower voltage, so they are expected perform identically on same fsb and ratio.

I suggest creating some bar charts.

i prefer plain table of digits that makes people difficult to understand and extremely bored to read.

Hex encoded frequency domain data or bust. Make the Plebes RFFT it!
