I´ve been on AMD since my old K6-2. Then on a classic Athlon, Thunderbird, Duron, Palomino and now a Thoroughbred. I´m thinking about trying a Pentium 4, but I´m worried about why it isn´t performing much better than the Athlons, given it´s higher FSB, clock rate and HT. Only place I´ve seen a difference is in Sandra Memory scores, but nothing much in real games and applications....
I thought the performance bottleneck would be in CPU/memory bandwith and clock rate, but then why isn´t the P4 performing much better than the Thoroughbreds and Bartons?
