So is a Celeron faster than a PIII? How would that make sense? The PIII has the SSE instructions, and a bigger cache. And how would a PII 450 out perform a PIII 450? Wouldn't the extra instrustions make the PIII faster? In test outside the realm of computer chess, the PIII out performs almost everything I have tested ( except the Athlon, but I do not like the AMD processors, I find them weak, and do not last as long as an Intel processor ), from office applications, to online gaming. Within Computer Chess, I see that Crafty produces more nodes/second, and also reaches deaper ply searches, and really isn't that what computer chess is all about? I used my friends Celeron 466, and my PIII 450 with equal ram. Almost everything in our systems are identical, as we purchased everything together.
