Dual Core AMD's, how good?

Will the AMD be the equivilent or better to the P4? I do alot of multi-tasking, as well as gaming. I've tried looking into the AMD's but only found limited information, could someone point me in the right direction to self-educate?- That's hard to believe that you couldn't find at least one ton of information about X2, if not several tons. - I'm concerned mainly that it will run at the same level as the P4, don't want to lose any performance in gaming and when single tasking(lol).- I think both single-tasking and multi-tasking wise, even the lowest X2 will wipe the plate of the P4-3.2. Yousuf Khan I was speaking more of a direct comparison of AMD to Intel, like a 3800 + being equivilent to a P4 XX. Thanks for the input guys. -- MoToX20 |

As a rough comparison, I would say that the AMD Athlon64 X2 3800+ will perform similarly to an Intel P4 840. There are some applications that will be faster on one chip while other applications will be faster on the other, but performance-wise they would tend to be the closest match. Here are a handful of reviews that include some competitive comparisons: http://www.techreport.com/reviews/20...0/index.x?pg=1 http://www.extremetech.com/article2/...1843634,00.asp http://anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2484 http://hothardware.com/viewarticle.c...leid=710&cid=1 As you can see, the exact scores will vary somewhat from test to test, but it's pretty clear that AMD's lowest-end dual core X2 chip can battle it out pretty effectively with the very top-end of Intel's dual-core lineup. ------------- Tony Hill hilla underscore 20 at yahoo dot ca |
