orneT=- If AMD kept lower the clock speed each time, obviously the XP3000 won't compete well. Cache doesn't play a role everywhere. If they had used an XP3000 at 2.25GHZ like the XP2800, maybe it'd help, otherwise jump even further in clock speed. Those achieved...

both companies make good processors that are plenty fast for the vast majority of what people do. Ohh, that and in almost all cases the processor is a HIGHLY overrated component when it comes to determining the quality and speed of a system. ------------- Tony...

still choose to go with the regular t-bred. I do plan on overclocking but Also want to stay as close to stock voltage as possible. And clock speed is also more important to me than cache. The core and stepping I have it AMD Athlon AXDA2700DKV3D AIUHB0246MPMW...

actually open/close transistors. And the speed of electrons is much lower than the speed of the signal they carry. So, even if silicon wasn't that expensive, increasing die size wouldn't be beneficial because then you need to lower clock speed. The Pentium...

marketed speed of the chip. Lower clock speeds to boost sales? The chips cost the same to make, pretty much regardless of the marketed speed, within the same batch. Marking he chips with a higher speed will *increase* sales, because it will allow the maker...

higher clock speeds are also a direct result of higher FSB speeds. For example, multiply 9 times a 100mhz FSB and you get 900mhz... multiply 9 times a 133mhz FSB and you get 1.2Ghz... FSB speed is very important in achieving high clock speeds. -MP Jesse...

want to start a flaming browser war) or a game like Quake III, the Athlon at a lower clock speed definately compares favorably. Now take the clock for clock race that has been going on since the introduction of the Athlon, what then are we to use as the...

to actually UTILIZE its clock speed? Is that how that works? Okay, and now the big question (and anyone -- please feel free to address my questions, by the way): When it comes down to real-life results, (regarding speed, any any other important factors...

it's not quite fast enough for the fastest games with dark shadow elements and it has other issues, such as "sparkles" on full-motion video... apparently due to the "overdrive" used to speed up shades of gray switching. Whatever technology your 2010X...
