The sickest processor, Pentium ii, no one's better than this beast.

This page should not exist, but I am glad it does.

I know which one I could pick up cheaper..

I WANT ONE!

0.3 GHz * 140 w = 42 GHz EZ

the computer inside my washing machine is faster than this...

PII 300MHz... aka, when I used to "OC" by pressing the turbo button on my fugly biege case.

if you overclock the p2 to 300Ghz I think it will be better than the i7 5960x

I think most of us went into this comparison to see how much our world got faster! Or maybe how faster we think it gets

this other website has some detailed info regarding the compared processors - http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=347&pgno=8 - i think the Intel Atoms are a lot power efficient versus other processors (wattage & speed factors included) Intel P2 300 PE is 11.1W not 1W as stated here this is a lot lower than that - Intel Z500 / 800mhz / 0.65W

250nm and 1w this is good.

Lolz (10:07 PM, January 18, 2015)

I think this pentium is true better.

Fair comparison, i guess, i'll try to get P3 somewhere...
