Yes, it's very likely.

As I wrote: I'm aware, that VIA and P-II are differently built. But I just
made kind of "practical comparison", not digging too deeply into any
datasheets - just giving a try to both. Both can be used without colling fan
(a radiator is enough) - and I was wondering, which one will be faster.
