AMD Athlon "Thunderbird" 1 GHz / 800 MHz

Under High End Winstone 99, the low latency L2 of the Thunderbird allows the Athlon platform to leap frog the Pentium III, even with RDRAM, and take the top spot. Even the 800 MHz Thunderbird came out on top of the original Athlon 1 GHz. Once again, the performance improvement is in the vicinity of 8%.
