AMD CPU equal to Intel CPU

[Pampalini]

Hi, pls what CPU from AMD is equal to 3 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 ? thx

 

[Ycon]

Some 3500-ish

Depends on which P4 at 3 GHz, (Northwood B at 3.06, Northwood C at 3.0, or 478 Prescott at 3.0, or socket 775, etc...)

Generally, however, a socket 939 A64/3200+ and sometimes a 3000+, is a match for any of them in the majority of benchmarks, save for perhaps the Northwood "C" running overclocked at 3.6Ghz at 250 FSB....

 

[YO_KID37]

Yeah, I Agree with ycon(finally) Somewhere between 3000+ to 3400+ Would be an Equal to a 3.0Ghz Pentium Depending on Which Socket 939/775 or whick type of Core.

At doing what task?

For things such as gaming, lower-end Athlon 64 (2800+, 3000+) will meet or beat a Pentium 4 @ 3ghz.

At other tasks such as DivX encoding, an Athlon 64 3500+ would keep up with a Pentium 4 @ 3ghz.

 

[eyimbo]

have a look at the cpu chart

Your question is so unspecified.
There are different Pentium4 cores which at same freqfency perform different as well as the different mainboards(with same or with different chipsets) and different RAM modules(different type and timings).
The same is for the AMD processors(I guess you are comparing with K8 s754/s939/s940).
It depends most on what are you going to do with that computer.

Marshmellow's (A friend of mine) socket 754 2800+ will take a 3GHz P4 anyday -.-.

Why don't you post some specs of marshmallows machine? I'd be curious to see some benchmarks too.

I would be too, since I haven't seen him in a year ^_^. last time I checked he had:

AMD Athlon 64 2800+
Unknown Mobo
1GB Stick of PC3200 RAM Corsair
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro AGP

He probably upgraded since then, but Ycon was just talking crap, a 3500+ would annihilate a 3GHz P4.

[LithiumSunset]

Will your machine do the same?

 

[MadModMike]

Will your machine do the same?

Annihilate a P4 3GHz? I should hope w/ DDR500 & 2.8GHz OC'd 3700+.

oh wow, ok. Well, let's see some benchmarks man. I am just nosey. :tongue:

 

[bigbadwolf]

are the amd pr ratings supposed to be equivelant to intel like they used to be?
coz i saw sumwhere it sed that the PR rating now means compared to older AMD processors

 

[RichPLS]

For my use, I add 700 to 800MHz to AMD's real clock speed to equal a P4 ~~~ ie. a X2-4800 at 2x2400MHz is about equal to a Pentuim 4 dual core 3200MHz

 

[LithiumSunset]

I think I read that too somewhere. I know they don't mean the same anymore like they used to. Hell, i'm still learning the new ones. It gets confusing

Lol ya it does. I had a hard time at the beggining too. And now intel has all this fancy numbers for their new Processors, I still have to get used to them.

Wow, if you compare a 4800+ to a 840 or 940, you are truly an Ignorant Intel Fanboy. 8O

Well he did say "for my use". So if he uses it soley for the very few benchmark programs that intel does well, I could see it. Big IF.

He probably runs PCMARK, the program that pretty much just scores based on clock speed, bwhaha.

Then you are really an Intel fans.

Athlon x2 4800+ can defeat P-D 840 and PD-940 easily.

Your math is so incorect, you thinking of freqfency as performance!
There are few softwares(Rendering and Integer concerned) where the Pentium D 840/940 is overperforming a little the AthlonX2, but in the most apps, especialy the games(where floating point executions are used) the AthlonX2 is overperfoming the PentiumD a lot.

 

[Ycon]

HAHA!
The only thing it took is your brain (if you ever had one).

 

[MU_Engineer]

A better metric to determine speeds is benchmarks, or you can do it roughly by price between equivalent offerings (i.e. dual-core to dual-core.) My $360 X2 4200+ is between the $330 Pentium D 930 and the $460 Pentium D 940 both in price and overall performance.

Uhm....okay....*looks around for something blunt to mail Ycon so he can hit himself over the head with it*....*finds a power supply and sends it overnight*

@MU: I would have to disagree, the 4200+ is basically 2 3500+'s and that will definately take a 3.2GHz P4.
