Found the article today nosing around the anandtech site, and it puts a great perspective on the budget end of processors, with all the benchmarks they ran and tests they did.

y is the stats comparing a athlon xp 2600 to a crappy p4 1.8 a? that's unfair and biased man
i know. but obviously the p4 1.8a is not gonna be able to compare to any athlon xps higher than 2000. y don't they just compare something in the same league?Originally posted by DWk@5 December 2003 - 18:52

Because the Intel CPU of the same performance is way over the $100 barrier.

Because it's about what you get for your money... why on earth would you compare a budget priced AMD with the comparable but over-budget Intel equivalent?
If Intel priced their 2.5GHz processor a little nearer the Athlon then same-speed comparisons would become relevant; as it is, Intel don't and the comparisons aren't.
if your font size is this small i'll add you to my ignore list because you're wasting my time, OK?
Also the 1700+ almost consistently outperforms the Pentium 4 - 1.8
And look at this one where the most expensive P4 is the least performing. (even overbudget in this test at $120.)
Hee,hee,hee!
I knew my 2600+ was my ace in the hole....

Hehe, my 1700+ is quite merrily running at 1.84GHz (2200+ -ish) without getting too near 50degC under load.Originally posted by Virtualbody1234@6 December 2003 - 00:17

I'm happy with that!
