The Benchmark Results
You remember me mentioning it, Intel was not able to release the i820-chipset along with Coppermine. Thus i820-motherboards are not really the right platform for testing Coppermine. We decided to include results of Coppermine running on a preliminary i820-platform as well, but they don't really count right now. Thus we ran Coppermine with a FSB-clock of 100 MHz on a BX-platform and Coppermine with 133 MHz FSB on a platform with the only official 133 MHz FSB chipset, VIA's Apollo Pro 133+.
