Hey guys,

In the list of CPU-World is the slowest 600 MHz, but i have one with 500 MHz.
Can this be? |

I can't find info about Cyrix III 466 (Samuel). I think if it have unlocked multiplier (maybe early part) that is remarked higher model - fake. If multiplier is locked that can't be fake.

I must say with sad face ... Celeron 433. As I good remember Celeron 266 is comparatable with Cyrix III 500 
I love VIA CPUs and on your side I'd like to work on VIA Cyrix III  VIA rulez !

the Crix-III is based on the winchip2 core (aka winshyt) it wasnt until the C3 that VIA got performance to a decent level.
I too love VIA still though
and welcome to the forums Soeren

Ehmmm not Winchip 3 core ? IDT had final version of Winchip 3 and at same time was bought by VIA conern. C3 support more instructions and have L2 cache so as John said - this raised performance.

Cyrix III and C3 are different classes.
