Default Dual Core AMD's, how good?

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.

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.

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:

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.
