    On an AMD Athlon scale, they run at about as fast as the "K7" revision of the Athlon 600 :).

    I thought the megadrive cartridge style Athlons were slightly faster than P3 chips?

    256K Cache P3 are 10% slower than Athlons clock for clock.

    These are the ones you mentioned in the folding forum. I see I see.

    Which Athlon's though? :)

    The K7, T-Bird, or both? :)

    If you want to get technical, then there are actually a few more you missed. :)

    K7 >> K75 >> Thunderbird >> Palomino >> Thoroughbred-A >> Thoroughbred-B >> Barton

    If you want to stick to the "Athlon" handle, then there are only 2:

    The AMD Athlon & The AMD Athlon XP.

    Palomino, thoroughbred-A and B all have identical performance at the same clock speeds which is why he dubbed it the XP, and differentiated the Barton.

    According to AMD, the original K7 is now the Athlon Classic, or Athlon for short.

    Thunderbird represented a speed increase, and requires differentiation.

    The K75 is the thunderbird, so you need to scratch that.

    Nightshade's was right, and he didn't miss anything.

    Actually, the K75 was the 0.18u version of the AMD Athlon WITHOUT full-speed on-die L2 cache. Before the "Thunderbird" was released, AMD shrunk the die of the original K7-Athlon variant from 182mm^2 on the 0.25 micron process to 102mm^2 on the 0.18 micron process. Before the 256 KB of L2 cache was integrated into the die (which is considered to be the Thunderbird, with "Performance Enhancing Cache"), AMD released 0.18 micron process Athlon's with the 512 KB of L2 cache, running with a cache divider of 2/5 instead of the usual 1/2 in the Slot A form factor.

    The AMD Athlon 750, built upon the 0.18 micron process was the first "K75" to be released on November 29, 1999 and was the first to sport the new 2/5 cache divisor.

    The "Thunderbird" variant of the AMD Athlon was not released until June 5, 2000.
