I think there are some wrong facts: AMD did not reinstated the PR rating with the Palomino. While with the K5 it was a real Pentium Rating with the Athlon XP it was a Performance Rating that compared to the previous Athlon generation, which is the Thunderbird.

The fact that the on die L2 cache of the K6-3... bypasses L2 cacheable area limitations of the mainboard should be added. And that previous mainboard L2 acts now as L3.

If you compare performance it should also be noted that the K6 series performs much better on unoptimized code than a Duron or Pentium II/III due to it's short pipeline and lower latencies. This is important especially regarding older software.

I'd like to see some arguments for the recommendations added in the Today: section.

There are nearly no facts about Slot-A athlons?!?
