Hi everyone,

I was poking around the Intel web site (for some other reason) & 
found +/- by accident that they have published floating-point 
benchmarks for their processor range. Interestingly the benchmark 
is made up of 7 components, one of which is FFT performance...

The benchmarks are as follows:

233             PII, 1200
266             PII, 1370               Celeron, 0K, 1230
300             PII, 1540               Celeron, 0K, 1370               Celeron, 128K, 
1590
333             PII, 1700                                                              
 Celeron, 128K, 1760
350             PII, 1790
400             PII, 2050
450             PII, 2280

It's interesting that the Celeron with 128K core-speed cache seems 
to out-perform the standard PII (which has 512K cache at 0.5 * 
core speed) at the same clock speed. As well as being cheaper.

Also, the performance gained by going to the highest clock 
multiplier isn't neccessarily cost effective (divide the benchmark by 
the part cost in $...)

Just thought you might be interested.
