The AMD K6-3 has given best preformance/price, at least here in Norway. The
lead has been signifficant, but most vendors have built their PCs with
(W)Intel
CPUs. For the home-builder/upgrader, the choice has been simple, though.
But lately Intel has dropped their prices, and if I was to buy a new CPU
now, I would have to choose between PIII and K6-3 (They're pretty much
equally fast, AMD a bit faster in Q2 in windoze)
anyways
