HardwareCentral has posted a review on the Pentium III 1.13 GHz.



Intel's 1.13 GHz, need we say more? It is yet another Pentium III Coppermine processor operating at an even higher clockspeed, 1133 MHz, to be exact. If you already thought Intel's 1 GHz processor was fast, then this processor simply adds another 133 MHz and is currently the fastest x86 processor on the market. Whereas both Intel and AMD only recently crossed the 1 GHz milestone, Intel just moved one step up with the release of the 1.13 GHZ Pentium III, we're confident that we won't have to wait too long for AMD's answer.

Actually, both AMD and Intel have not been sitting idle in these past few months, as we've seen processor clockspeeds skyrocket from 800 to 1 GHz, both AMD and Intel have moved from a mere 512 KB external cache running at 1/2 clockspeed to a 256 KB full speed, on-die cache, and with both manufacturers we've seen the return of the socketed CPU. Therefore we weren't really surprised to see Intel releasing yet another speed grade of their successful Pentium III Coppermine processor.
