AMD Athlon 750

by Anand Lal Shimpi on November 29, 1999 1:16 AM EST

The Business Application performance of the Athlon 750 suffers because of its slower L2 cache and thus gives it a meager 0.2 Winstone points advantage over the Athlon 700. As we already know, however, all of these processors are more than capable of running even the most complex business applications so there shouldn't be any performance concerns here.

HE Winstone's dependency on a strong FPU keeps the Athlon 750 ahead of the pack although it does take a small hit for the slower L2 cache in comparison to the Athlon 700. Overall, the difference in performance between the Athlon 700 and the Athlon 750 isn't enough to justify the increase in price. The physical difference between the two chips (smaller die, less heat generated, greater overclocking potential, etc...) does make the 750 much more appetizing.
