I was privy to a conversation that a kernel developer made the following comments: Oh, I point out that C3 really is: * an i686 [cmov is actually optional] * with the i586 instruction set [ok, really k6-2 insn set] * that schedules like i486 In the new kernels (2.5 series), this CPU is being treated as a 486 with MMX+3DNOW. > The bulk of the blame rests on VIA (or possibly the kernel developers).
