Intel  Pentium II-233 MHz
 

We test every processor in 4 ways: memory bandwidth (and how the performance flaw affects it); 16 bit DOS using our own CBENCHP benchmark; Windows 95 using the standard real application benchmark Winstone 97; 3D and Floating point (=arithmetic calculations) using Quake.

System configuration: Intel Pentium II-233 on Intel's FX chipset with 64 Mb EDO memory, Matrox Mystique 4 MB graphics card, Quantum Fireball 3.2 hard disk.
 

I' Bandwidth and Performance flawINFO

The 'normal' rate is the rate which is achieved with the best normal way possible.
The 'innovative' rate is achieved by knowing the performance flaw and applying our workarounds.

Remarks:

 
II' DOS benchmarkINFO

In our 16 bit (DOS) CBENCHP benchmark Pentium II scored: loop 0.44, program 0.53, transfer 157480 (due to its fast 512K on board secondary cache), video 25470, resulting in it being 340 times faster than IBM PC/XT.

 
III' Windows 95 benchmarkINFO
 
On Business Winstone 97 Pentium II-233 scored 57.8 outperforming all processors (Pentium MMX, AMD K6, Cyrix 6x86MX). It should be noted though, that a K6-233 reaches 55.3 and a 6x86MX PR233 (188 MHz) reaches 56.7 !
 

IV' 3D/Floating Point benchmarksINFO

Pentium II is very good on Quake (due to its next generation floating point unit), it reaches 25 frames per second while the best of the rest, Pentium MMX-200, reaches only 15.7 .
