+ | It appears that the Cyrix chip running in 40MHz bus mode is a really strong performer; outclassing the Am5x86 despite the higher clock speed of the AMD processor. Even at 100MHz (3x 33MHz), the lower clocked Cyrix processor is within 10% of the performance of the AMD. | ||

+ | The performance differential isn't too surprising considering the AMD is effectively a clock-quadrupled 486DX, whereas the Cyrix design is a cut-down and backported core from the much-maligned (but actually very impressive, if you discount the FPU) Cyrix 6x86, so it's much closer to a Pentium class processor than the AMD. |
