It's impossible that the Celeron-500 is
slower than a K6-III 400 if you consider that its FPU is similar to that
of a Pentium III. In reality, the Celeron-500 should whip the K6-III 400's
ass when it comes to high end applications...
You are correct in stating that the
Celeron-500 performs FPU functions faster than the K6-III 400. However,
the CPU Scorecard score is based on
more than FPU performance. Visit our Benchmarks
Links page for more details on the references we use to determine our
CPU rankings.
If you would like to provide us with additional published references
(web sites, preferably) that include business, high-end, floating-point,
and multimedia performance comparisons between the two, we will certainly
incorporate that information into our ranking.
