3200Xp vs 805D @ 3.ghz

[Yaemish]

I'v been reading all the 805 crap na di actually bought one with a Thermaltakes Big Water. I t was an impulse buy, I don't know what the hell I was thinking.

I am going to send back the big watr, I don't want to even try to get to 4 ghz. I am using a 3200XP now and am starting to get unhappy with performance especially when using Winrar and trying to do other things.

I may run the 805 @ 3 ghz, is it going ot be much faster than my old 3200XP in regular Windows use (Winrar, encoding, Gaming) or should i just send it back and wait?

the 805 even without overclocking would walk all over your old xp.

add that water cooling and a nice overclock and your looking at a HUGE increase

Bullsh*t! The xp3200 would own the 805 in gaming! But in other things i dont know.

 

[Yaemish]

Can anyone confirm the gaming comment?

 

[dvdpiddy]

Check the charts here. They might not have the 805 yet but i've seen it get beat by the 3200 in cod2 by 3-5 frames on average.

i agree, in gaming, at only 3ghz the 805 will be slower in games for now, except quake 4 and oblivion, where dual core makes a difference. the 805 for a single threaded app like a game is a castrated prescott with a low fsb, not a good combo. i would keep the 805 nevertheless cause it will be better in mutli tasking, and you can oc it higher than 3ghz even on stock cooling, probably to around 3.2-3.3

did anyone else notice he said he was unhappy with the xp 3200 in one area Winrar. Im very sure the duel core would preform better against his old 3200xp in this application.

Im very sure when he says 3200xp hes talking NON athlon 64, more of a socket A.

so if that is the case the 805 would win.

To make it simple, the 805 will eat any XP 3200 for breakfast.

I almost thought he said AMD64 3200 =p Also, why send back the Big Water and go for 4ghz?

 

[Yaemish]

Nope, I was most definately talking Barton core 3200XP (overclocked 2600 actually). I will be running it with PC3200 because thats what the board takes.

My eyes lit up at the 4ghz and I bought the watercooler. After reading more into it and the power consumption that it requires, I decided aginst it. But if I get the $130 back I can make this a nice cheap upgrade and be happy hitting the 3 ghz mark.

Get a 930 for like what, $70 more and you could easily hit 4.6 on air. Also, power consumption is low on the 65nm chips, and not to mention Newegg is having a sale on it right now!

the 805D outperform 3200XP in some benchmark, and in some cases the 3200XP beaten 805D, based on the cpu chart in tomshardware. it isnt entirely accurate since it didn have 805D and 3200XP there, so i compare the processor that almost resemble both the processor. 805D-pentiumD 820(smithfield) and 3200XP-sempron3000+(barton), the 805D clearly ahead of 3200XP in almost all benchmark except for maybe 2 or 3 benchmark.

so the 805D is definitely faster than 3200XP. if i were u, i wouldnt buy 805D in the first place, since conroe and AM2 is launching this year (AM2 next week,but i already can see it in some store in my country here), i'll get these new architecture from intel or amd.

**AM2 isnt a new architecture for AMD processor, it's only a platform to provide new DDR2 support, plus future upgradablility of K8L(which is a redesign of current K8 architecture plus some new added feature).

Same. That's what I'd do and planning to do if one was to wait for Conroe release or price drop(if needed) once released.
Intel already released Conroe capable 975x revisions =D

at stock speeds id say go for the intel d since new games will be taking advantage of multicore cpus

What! Ycon dont bullsh*t the new guy look at what wusy said

As a Barton owner and hating to admit it I know it takes exactly 3.11Ghz for the D 805 to walk over Barton @2.2Ghz in any single-threaded performance.

HE AINT A BIASED INTEL FANBOY LIKE YOU!

hm, i really doubt the second statement. 2.2 ghz would be realistic for a a64 to be competitive with a 3.1ghz dual core, but not a barton. also, that's single threaded. the 805 would dominate any dual threaded app.

Comparing the two this isn't a contest even if you were able to push your Barton to 2.52Ghz like mine which runs as hot as a Smitherfield @3.8Ghz

Why would you hate to admit that? It shows how good the Barton was/is.

To the OP. If you MUST keep the 805, then plan accordingly when you make your RAM and motherboard selections. Leave yourself an upgrade path.

 

[Yaemish]

I know it would beat it hands down if the app is coded for smp. I care about the fact that all the games I play don't utilize smp and need to compare just one core performance aginst that 3200XP.
