Re: highest p3 clock speed?
Depends what revision it is. If it's a Coppermine, it won't OC worth a damn. If it's the 1GHz Celeron Tualatin, it'll do 1.33GHz (133FSB) without a hitch, or up to 1.5 if the PCI/AGP in the motherboard tolerate the increased PCI clock.Originally posted by PeteS in CARemember that by the time consequences of a short-sighted decision are experienced, the idiot who made the bad decision may have already been promoted or moved on to a better job at another company.

Re: highest p3 clock speed?
Probably.
At least it would on the Northwood processor.
Personally I got a system with a 1.4ghz tualatin P3. Seein it hit 1.6 or something like that would be cool.Last edited by pentium; 10-10-2010, 02:48 PM.Find Nedry!

Re: highest p3 clock speed?
Here's a place to get the basic idea.

Not every cpu or configuration is included and they are kind'a sketchy about exactly which cpu they mean sometimes, but you can still ball-park it most of the time.

Re: highest p3 clock speed?
Originally posted by relkin67 View PostP3s are roughly 30% more efficient per clock cycle. Thus a 1GHz P3 is roughly equivalent to a 1.3GHz P4. Late model P3s (particularly the PIII-S) were better than the Willamettes but Northwoods eclipsed them.
'Who wins the race' is largely application dependent.
If you put a 2GHz Northwood up against a single 1.4GHz PIII-S it's 50/50/90 who will come out on top.
Intel deliberately suppressed their marketing of PIII-S chips because they kicked butt on their 'Flagship' P4's.
Presumably that is also why they limited the i815 chipset to 512MB RAM and didn't sh*t a better chipset - even for their own PIII-S server boards.
[Intel's PIII-S server boards did not use Intel chipsets. They used ServerWorks chipsets. Might be exceptions but I haven't seen one.]

Re: highest p3 clock speed?
Interesting how the PIII & PIII-S cores were ultimately the foundation of "Core" technology and "Netburst" bit the dust.
I remember when Intel was pushing slot type CPU's.
One of their 'advertised' reasons was pin type sockets couldn't be made to meet the requirements of faster and more advanced CPU's.
- Then came sockets 370, 423, and 603.
Intel's Marketing 'suits' and the other 'suits' that listen to them aren't always the sharpest knives in the drawer.

Re: highest p3 clock speed?
At one point (Spring 1998? Spring 1999?), the US Justice Department was suing Intel. Two pins on the 'slot' chips had functions that couldn't be identified or duplicated (I forget which) without breaking some legal agreements or IP. I could be wrong on this, but I don't think so.
Later (not sure when), the suit was dropped (or settled). Was the lawsuit a factor helping Intel to decide to drop the 'slot' architecture? And had the Microsoft antitrust case happened yet?

Re: highest p3 clock speed?
Might be. I don't remember that one.
But they could do that with pins too so I don't see how it could have had anything to do with going back to sockets.
I do recall a big hoopla about CPU's with serial numbers that could be accessed via the internet and couldn't be disabled.
Intel lost that one. They fixed it by allowing the BIOS to turn it off.
Also one of the MS OS Betas [I think it was Win98] had a feature where the system would connect to the internet and 'phone home' late at night if the PC was left on.
The Beta testers threw up the red flags to the media and it didn't show up in the final version.
