Intel Pentium III 1.2GHz 0.13-micron Tualatin: The Celeron of the Future

3D Rendering Performance - 3D Studio MAX R4.02

We first introduced our 3D Studio MAX R4 test with our 760MP Review.  Click here for more information on the test and our test animation. 

Up to this point the Pentium III 1.2 has kept pretty close to the Athlon 1.2, however the raw power of the Athlon’s FPU keeps it a good 15% away from the Tualatin newcomer.  The Tualatin at 1.2GHz does put the clock speed limited Coppermine core to shame in this test, offering performance equal to the Pentium 4 1.5.
