To give the user an idea of where the KryoTech Cool Athlon 800 MHz performance sits we tested several platforms. Included in the testing are Intel's Pentium III 550 & 600 MHz processors, and AMD's Athlon 600 & 650 MHz processors. The application benchmarks include SYSMark98 under Windows 98 & Windows NT. To test the FPU performance we used 3DstudioMax under NT. And for the gamers out there, I included results from Quake 3 Arena, Quake 2 and Half-Life.
