New CPUs from AMD and Intel

High End Application Performance Under Windows NT

Ziff-Davis' High End Winstone has always been targeted to the workstation area. The applications used in this benchmark are for professional use and not likely to be found in home or small office environments. This is why High End Winstone may not be as important to the majority of computer users. However, it is a very image-creating segment. Performing well in workstation environments makes the CPU-maker look very professional.

It's easily seen that K6-3 has got a tough standing in this benchmark, but it's not the right CPU for those kind of applications anyway. Many of these applications can take a decent advantage of multi-CPU systems, which is impossible with K6-2 or K6-3 CPUs anyway.
