AMD Athlon "Thunderbird" 1.33GHz/1.30GHz

As if things were odd enough, in the B2C portion of WebMark 2001 the Athlon actually comes out ahead.  In this portion of the benchmark, there is a stronger bias towards the Photo Editing (Java) portion of the test, with 12% being dedicated to SSL/non-SSL page loads, 26% dedicated to Flash Animation and 20% dedicated to FPU intensive 3D visualization. 

Looking at the Java Performance figures we understand why the Athlon comes out ahead.  With more attention being paid to the Athlon’s strengths, it manages to pull ahead in the B2C benchmark.
