Special Pentium III Software Performance - Futuremark MultimediaMark99
Futuremark is also "strongly supported" by Intel, MultimediaMark99 supports SSE but of course not 3DNow!. The 'readme' says that 3Dnow! 'may' be supported in the future and we all understand this very well, don't we? After all 3Dnow! is only out for more than 9 months now and the Pentium III has just been released, so it is obviously extremely logical that SSE has to be supported first, isn't it? MultimediaMark does four tests, MPEG1-encoding, decoding, imaging and sound editing. Please take the results with a grain of salt also, I only published them to be kind of complete.
Surprise surprise, Pentium III scores better than the rest, K6-3 scores bad - what a fair benchmark!
