Assuming they are all running at the same clock frequency......
A Pentium (that includes both the "classic" and the MMX) will
be the slowest.

In general.... an AMD chip will have better *overall* performance
than an Intel chip.  Depending on the operation, an AMD chip will
have about 30% better performance at the same clock speed.
BUT will be slightly slower for anything that requires floating
point calculations.

The K6 is the equivalent of a Pentium w/MMX.
The K6-2 is the equivalent of a Pentium II.
The K6-III is the equivalent of a Pentium III.
