Intel have a higher cache, AMD pose 256-512KB but Intel have 1MB Level 2 cache. Intel clock speeds tend to be higher, I haven't seen an AMD clocked at 3.06GHz. And as well as that Intel have better overclocking facilities, I have seen a 3.06GHz Pentium Xeon overclocked to 3.71GHz, that's 650MHz!
AMD is inferior to Intel power wise but AMD is cheaper. i have read sites where they tested them and yes Pentium are the highest power quality there is but AMD are cheaper price wise i myself will always use Pentium up until sony releases the Cell (1 teraFLOPS YAY!!!
. if u want performance go with Pentium if u r on a budget go to AMD.

the CELL?? 1 TERAFLOP?? what the hell???
[SIZE=1]AMD 4200 X2 @ 2.65Ghz, ASRock 939-VSTA

The Athlon XP 3200+ is 2.2GHz, and uses the new Barton core. I've heard it's not giving the performance increase that AMD was hoping for.Originally posted by ilw@30 July 2003 - 10:16
nope in all the benchmarks the Intel 3GHz spanks even the amd 3200 silly. By Toms hardware benchmarks they reckoned the 3200 should be called a 2800

I dont think 3200+ is 2.2 Ghz...give it a LITTLE more credit then that..even though i dont like amd much lol

its a Sony/IBM Processor first to be implemented into the Ps3 then later into Computers, will be capable of i TeraFlop look up that if u want more info.Originally posted by bigdawgfoxx@30 July 2003 - 12:15

AMD and Intel have different caching systems... what is present in L1 cache in a P4 is also present in L2, whereas in AMD systems they use a system that doesn't allow duplication between caches.Originally posted by Amarjit@30 July 2003 - 19:10

Which is more efficient? Look at AMD's performance per clock cycle and you will see.

Who actually needs a 3.0 ghz? The AMD is much much cheaper and is quite fast..
signature removed, check the boardrules.
Who needs a top-of-the-line processor anyway?
at my local supplier:
AMD Athlon XP 2000+ = £40
AMD Athlon XP 3000+ = £189
over four times the price for only 1.5 times the performance? I don't think so.

exactly what im saying... soon we'll have 5.0 ghz processors and then well be saying 3 ghz is slow..
