I saw benchmarks (from PC Magazine or something...) where the Coppermine was up to 40% faster in raw integer/FP calculating speed than a Katmai PIII at the same speed (MHz). This is due to a number of factors, which I won't go into now... With the Coppermine, the PIII is just as fast as the Athlon.
