Taking AMD and Intel processors to the limit

Next news
2:45 PM - December 17, 2004 by Wolfgang Gruener

Munich - One year ago, an ambitious project at the Tom's Hardware Guide Lab set a world record of processor speed - 5.25 GHz. This year, the staff focuses on a real world stress test to highlight reliability and quality of the processors: Progress and results can be viewed in real time over the Internet.

Speed records are exciting, but more than five GHz are a glimpse in the future and at least another two years away from general commercial availability. Instead of breaking another record and cooling a system to the range of -200 degrees Celsius, Tom's Hardware Guide engineers decided to take this year's stress test into everyday life. Running at maximum load over some time, the processors will reveal their stability and product quality.

An Athlon 64 3500+ system as well as a Pentium 4 3.6 GHz platform go head to head in a comparison setting. Live video stream allows readers to watch the stress test anytime and view continuously updated test results.
