    Nice dig !!!

    At least they use a Matrox card ...

    But to be honest the CPU is not even twice as fast as my Celery (~42 CPU marks) and I really expected more.

    Interesting that WCPUID says 'Pentium III (Coppermine)' and Sandra names it 'Celeron III' ...

      WCPUID also says it has 32KB L1 Cache (I+D), although Coppermines are supposed to have 64K L1 Cache... weird, perhaps this "preproduction sample" is equipped with less L1 cache or maybe it's just a li'l bug in WCPUID...

        Intel has confirmed that Coppermine still has 32KB L1 cache...

        I think the main reason is that large fast L1 cache won't help P6 core's speed very much since its decoder is faster than its execution units.

        Instead, Larger & Faster L2 cache will be helpful for some multimedia instruction set
        and applications.

            Not surprised he is running a G400 to do this. It's the only card that could be counted on to run stably with the AGP overclocked that highly. It makes me want to strangle the wuss though, since he coyly refuses to tell the readers what card he is using. How many people out there would know what PDESK.EXE is who aren't already Matrox users? The average Joe Moron will probably think he can do this with his V770U because, "after all, isn't that the best card available?"

                      Well, I emailed Kyle this:

                      Hello,
                      It's obvious to any Matrox user, when they looked at your post and saw
                      PDesk.exe as an application running in the background, that this DOES
                      suggest you were using a Matrox (prob G400/Max) video card.
                      And you have received dozens if not hundreds of mail like this. I am sure.
                      Sorry to be the next person to burden you with this query...but why keep
                      this hush hush when you were only asked to not show pictures of the CPU?

                      His response:

                      Just have our reasons bro....

                      Surprised? It was worth a try.

                        You can be sure that he made some sort of deal with nVidia and/or 3Dfx not to use Matrox cards, or something in that direction...
                        Just my 2 cents.

                          Anyone check the legal implications for not disclosing a full system spec when qoting the benchmark? Its on the screengrab.

                          Maybe we should ask someone at the benchmark coys. to 'ask' him to fess up.

                          In fact is specifically states in section 10, clause VI:'VI Identify the exact 3D accelerator manufacturer and brand name, 3D accelerator type, driver name, driver version, DirectX version, amount of video memory on card, bus type, monitor name and any other special conditions used in the 3D Accelerator drivers to achieve the result; (e.g. Creative Blaster Voodoo2 12Mb, 3D Accelerator name: Voodoo2 3D Accelerator, Driver name: 3dfx32v2.dll, Driver version: 4.10.01.0158, DirectX Version: 4.06.00.0318, Total Video Memory On Card: 4096MB, PCI Bus, Panasonic P70 monitor, Vsync disabled from the drivers.)

                          What do you reckon? I got the email to OCP ready to go......

                            Would have been nice to see Matrox next to those immense benchmark numbers. Would have gotten under nVidias' and 3dfxs' marketing skin. Heh.

                              Go get 'em, Waxling. Looks like you have him nailed, and ppl should know that he's using a Matrox card.
