AMD K5 vs. Intel Pentium: clock-for-clock comparison test at 90MHz
This video features several tests featuring both the SSA/5 and 5k86 versions of the AMD K5 as well as comparing them against the Pentium 90, with all CPUs running at 90MHz, making this a clock-for-clock comparison test. How much better was the K5 over the Pentium? Video was captured through the Geforce FX 5200's S-Video output, through a RetroTink 2x Mini, and captured by a Diamond GC2000 capture device. This is because capturing text mode is frought with difficulty through any other output for some reason. Sorry for the flicker during the Speedsys tests. Footage isn't representative of actual benchmark capture.
