It's no surprise that the three fastest CPUs in this test are the 900, 950 and 1000MHz Athlons. The 18% increase in clock speed over the 850 at 1GHz results in a performance gain of about 6% which is being limited by the 1/3 speed L2 cache of the Athlon. The same is true for the 900 and 950MHz parts, we are beginning to see the limitations of the K75 core, Thunderbird where are you?

Ahh, the days when AMD lead the benchmark charts... ;)wingless - Wednesday, January 4, 2017 - link
These were definitely the days. AMD dominated for about as many years as Intel has so far (January 4th, 2017). In the next few months after I post this, we'll see if AMD's Ryzen brings them back into the competition.Cloakist - Friday, July 5, 2019 - link
