An Athlon XP delivered better performance than a Pentium 4 at a lower price, even more so the later Athlon It wasn't until the Core 2 in the late naughties that Intel became competitive again.

It's not exactly "ironic" that P3 haunted P4; P4 was simply not a good design with several design ideas that were widely recognized in hindsight to have been mistakes and not work as well as hoped e.
When transistor shrinks hit the power wall, so P4 couldn't scale to 5GHz or above as they'd expected, the only thing it had going for it high clocks stopped going. Modern Microprocessors A Minute Guide! There were some bit P4 CPUs. Clock-for-clock , Pentium 3 was vastly faster than P4. Many instructions on the P4 took more clock cycles to execute than the same instructions on the P3.
The most egregious case of this was in bit-shift instructions; from at least the there was a specialized circuit called a barrel shifter that could do arbitrary shifts all at once, while the P4 had to shift one bit position at a time.

The speed powerups speed up the car as fast as your CPU and CD drive can handle, so using a slower drive can help.
Micro Machines 2: Turbo Tournament ? Reduce clock speed or disable cache with Setmul Quarantine Runs too fast on P3 33? Reduce clock speed or disable cache with Setmul RS-2 Game is playable, but the graphics flicker very badly. Reduce clock speed or disable cache with Setmul Syndicate crashes at startup P Its confirmed that game is run even on C2D, Xeon 56xx without slowdowner, problem is probably elsewhere than i cpu speed. Terminator: Future Shock too fast on high P2?
Thor's Hammer: The Trilogy Inconsistent in-game speeds turning around and opening doors very slow P3 reduce clock speed or disable CPU cache Toonstruck Speed bug with one or two puzzles? Reduce clock speed or disable cache with Setmul Vette Sometimes doesn't start on a P and if it does run controls are too sensitive?
Al Unser Jr. Arcade Racing Runs too fast P? Atlantis: The Lost Tales Animations are too fast, and audio can get out of sync in cutscenes. Use DXWnd to lower the framerate so that the animation speed is better. Audio may still get off sync sometimes, though.
Gex: Enter the Gecko Lack of framerate limiter may cause the game to play too fast in certain situations? Grand Prix Legends Runs too fast P4 1.
Hexplore Crashes after a minute on fast P4 and above P3 ? Increase resolution; Jane's Fighters Anthology version works fine Jeopardy Question timer is too fast? Pro Rally hangs P4 2. Silver Timing issues with a certain bell puzzle on high P4 P3 1. Does the company's long-awaited top-of-the-line chip live up to its breathless billing?
Systems based on the PIII gush speed, outrunning all other Windows 98 desktop machines we've tested. But the new chip offers more than the next step on the megahertz staircase. Intel has also given the PIII a total of 70 new processor instructions designed to accelerate specially written games, Internet plug-ins, graphics, and speech recognition applications. Preliminary tests by the PC World Test Center show that this technology may add real muscle to those tasks.
And this doesn't look to be a reprise of the Pentium MMX launch -- this time, more software will be available that actually uses the new capabilities. Much of that software, at least initially, will cater more to gamers and multimedia mavens than to serious business users. Let IDG. While prices and systems won't be available until later this week, it looks like PIII machines will generally command large!!! If you do image editing or other CPU-intensive work, covet the ultimate gaming machine, download and devour every browser plug-in you see, or value having this month's fastest desktop, you may already have your wallet out.
But not everyone needs to spring for a Pentium III. An even faster MHz Celeron chip will arrive in mid-March, on systems selling for about the same price. It offers sprightly performance and its own brand of 3D acceleration. And, again, take this important note: All the PIII machines we tested debut formally on February 26 and you may not be able to order them until then.
Those chips introduced fundamental changes in processing, cache, and system bus technologies. The rationale for the new name? The instructions target CPU-intensive jobs -- image filtering, 3D geometry calculations, and waveform analysis -- that would tax even a fast Pentium II. This change is similar to the addition of MMX instructions to Pentium processors a few years ago. And just as new applications had to be written to take advantage of MMX instructions, apps must be rewritten or updated to utilize the new SIMD Extensions.
In January, Intel announced this Processor ID as a boon to corporate asset management and e-commerce. Privacy advocates cried foul. Intel said it will leave this capability turned off as a default, but the controversy continues. This PC darts through business applications about 11 percent faster than the average PII machine, and about 17 percent faster than the average PII -- and those machines are hardly slowpokes.
The number draws a crowd, but before you jump on that bandwagon, take a close look at how the PIII systems from Gateway and Micron did: They garnered WorldBench scores of and -- only about 7 percent slower than the PIII systems. That's a negligible difference as you brood over a Word or Excel document. And these systems cost substantially less.
But keep in mind that the system's graphics board plays a huge role in these tasks. Gateway's MHz system took top honors in all but one test.
A PIII with a good graphics board shouldn't disappoint anyone.
