If you don't know why it's not 2.8GHz as you may have thought it would be, here is why. AMD names their XP line of processors according to how they pair up against the Pentium 4 line. For instance, a Pentium 4 2.4GHz processor would have the AMD equivalent of Athlon XP 2400+ (clocked at an actual 2GHz ie 133 x 15 I think it is), and the Pentium 4 3.0GHz would be paired with an Athlon XP 3000+ (2.47GHz using 190 x 13). Hope that helps. -- Athlon XP 2500+ OC to 2800+ ASUS A7N8X Deluxe 1024MB PC3200 ATI Radeon 9500 128MB Thermaltake Volcano 7+ 40GB Maxtor DMA133 80GB Seagate DMA100 Plextor PX-708A v1.04 BTC 316B 16x DVD-Rom |

Hope that helps. The naming is actually based on how they perform when compared to their Thunderbird processors--they went to the new rating system because their newer processors were giving equivalent performance at lower clock speeds and they wanted the names to reflect this--otherwise people would buy Tbird 1400s vs 1300s in the newer series that were actually faster. It worked out that for a while this rating was roughly comparable to the clock speed of a P4 with comparable performance and eventually I believe AMD marketing started suggesting that it was related to the P4 performance, but I don't know if that is how the rating is derived. -- --John Reply to jclarke at ae tee tee global dot net (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |
