"AMD's newly released Athlon 1400/266 is able to beat Intel's Pentium 4 1.7
GHz in a lot of benchmarks. The Intel processor performs better in Internet
content creation software and some new 3D-games. Athlon can leave Pentium 4
far behind in 3D-rendering software, because of its superior FPU-performance.
Except for 3D-rendering software, Athlon 1400 and Pentium 4 1.7 GHz are
pretty much neck on neck. However, the lower price tag of Athlon 1400/266
is clearly making it the more attractive product. It is also more
versatile, as you can find inexpensive (though lower performing) PC133
platforms as well as DDR-motherboards for it, while Pentium 4 is still only
supported by Intel850 platforms that require the expensive RDRAM memory."

Hope that might help.
