Stress Test: Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Vs. Pentium 840 EE
test comparing s939 vs 775
in 2005
it's not C2D either
the 4000 series doesn't share cache memory.
it gives less but still comparing in clock for clock performance, it is better than amd X2 and it's what anybody should expect, A64 X2 is an old architecture right now. as much as the Pentiums were old when A64 came out... even with Pentium D, it wasn't better... now it's amd that needs a new architecture... unless they cut prices...
think about it... i still have a fast computer with my s939 3700+ overclocked to 2.8ghz with 400mhz 2gb ram.
never had to reboot within a year, i clean my temporary files manually...
i only had to change a psu fan...
phenom will logically be only lightly faster than the C2D due to the short time between both technology.
while the conroe could even stay the prefered choice for overclockers as reaching higher maximum clocks, phenom could support unavailable features on amd's side... onchip partial graphical processing could be an interesting option... shared cache was a great idea intel managed to materialize, load balancing would be a good thing too. as a quad core with one of the cores useable to evenly distribute tasks between remaining cores... while managing the cache...
right now, get a C2D... ( 6X20 performs better... if you want a light overclocking, get a 6320, 6420 for medium overclocking and 6600 for huge overclocking... )
i'll wait for lower clocked quad versions...
Thanks guys
