    is not the reason for testing how many fps are attained is to measure performance in 3d accelerated applications such as...games!?!? ;)

    besides it is all about the video card, put an old tnt 2 in a p4 3 ghz and compare it to a xp1800 running half the clock speed and see who wins... here is a prime example of the logic that idea in action:

    the fact that i can "tweak" "optimize" etc. my system to run as fast as systems that cost much much more means alot! :) i am off work tomorrow so i might just unlock my multiplier, ramp that puppy up to around 2.4 or whatever it will run stable at with air cooling, and show you first hand what tweaking really means :)

Remember Intel ain't staying long at the 800fsb spot before moving up to the next level, and next after that...
    the future will reveal itself, until then anything is just speculation. as for now, AMD's top of the line(opteron) spanks the best intel has to offer at almost half the clock speed ROFL!!). remember the xp processor is not the "best" amd has out, the opteron is. so what is being done here is comparing AMD's low end processor(the duron is out of production) to Intel's high end.

    if you want to see high end vs high end look here:

    i highly recommend reading the entire article, the k-8 has plenty of headroom and AMD is going to be a thorn in the side of intel for a very, very long time. which is good for all of us!

      1x Amd XP 2100+ 512mb ddr Ti4200 = 10.000 points with everything at stock.

      Try setting your comp back to it's stock speed and se how ya score before ya brag because ya ain't impressing someone with that.. I can oc to if i need to but I ain't doing it just to break some other persons score, that's just silly....[/quote]

      LOL!! those clock speeds on my ti4400 are not much faster than a stock ti4600 speed. just set your cards speed the same as mine. since the 4600's have better ram and more memory bandwidth you should beat my ti4400's score. are you wanting to not do a CPU clock for clock comparision? after all your p4 2.26 is still faster mhz wise than my amd...this sounds like excuse making on your part, you call yourself "mr tweaker" well tweak away then!! :D should i clock my cpu the same speed as yours to do away with the 90 mhz difference?

Put two machines beside eatch other, run a bench like UT2003, then if one gives ya higher fps than the other one doesn't that mean you got yourself a winner..???.
      as i said before, i have no problem with the majority of the review but the quote i put earlier from it's conclusion is simply farcical.

        I would suggest to u that the p4 is not intels highend. If u want to compare intels highend, benchmark a xeon mp v. the opteron and see how well it does. There is also the idea of 32 v. 64 bit chips which can have a bit of an influence. The p4 is intels workstation chip, the opteron was designed as a server chip, not workstation. They are aimed at 2 seperate markets.

          the xeon 2.8 gets spanked too, as far as 64 bit goes it does not make a diiference as it was running at 32 bit, something intels 64 bit processors can only do in emulation mode, which is slower than a reg p4 at a price comparable to a p4 3.2 it does not matter what market it is aimed at, anyone can buy one.

          the simple objective fact remains. AMD's best is better than intel's best...period. at almost half the clock speed.

            unless you wanna get itanium2s;) though their like 4000 bucks just for the processor.

            umm if the xeon mp is for servers, then the athlon64 must be fore WORKSTATIONS, and it still rapes ass:)

              the athlon 64 is a desktop/workstation. the opteron is in fact a different processor than the athlon 64 with a different pin count. and as far as that goes the opteron is a 8 way solution ,meaning 8 processors can be run on one mobo, the opterons out now(models 240,242,244) are dual configurable quads start with model 4xx such as 440, 442 etc.

                Your right guys, this sucks. Amd wins all tests ever done over the last year. Intel never had any performance lead, and the one they had was caused by cheating..

                My god man have you been living under a rock..?? Wake up and smell the coffe.. Starting comparing Opteron against P4, sorry to break it to ya but p4 isn't Intels top of the line cpu's.. So then wtf is wrong with using the XP line which is suposed to be Amd desktop cpu's..:?:

                So what Amd has a more effective clockcykle? That doesn't help them mutch ya know if their gonna keep the speeds down wile Intel make their way higher and higher in both cpu clock cyckle and bus speeds.. Amd were closer in performance when P4b were their fastest cpu but now when the P4c processors with faster fsb are released this gap has started to grow, and it will continue to grow until we see the 64 bit processing.

                You don't need to ***** about my personal comps as they are all I need, I do mutch SSE2 apps and NO Amd XP today can outrun my 2.26 cpu within those tasks..

                So the facts and only important matter of this thread still remains, P4c 3.2 ghz spanked the sass outta that Amd XP3200 in a bunch of fair tests, Q3 Intel biased? Sure I'll go for that, remove it then as that were the only test Amd lost.. :rofl:
                No, let me guess, ALL those tests are Intel biased! That's why Intel won, yeah that's right!! This is so unfair! Now I wanna cry.. :cry:

                Man you seem to have a big problem accepting true facts when ya se em'.. I'm the first to congratulate Amd when they do something good, what is your problem..:?:

                Stop posting those silly links to your silly benchmarking comparisons on ya XP@blahblah, the relevance of this thread was clear, two top notch cpu's against eatch other, one of them won some fair testing without cheating, get over it.. :shrug:

                  I guess it is inevitable...mention AMD and Intel in the same thread and you are guranteed to have a flame war on your hands

                  without saying which one is better, ... :blah: All I'll say is that the wording of the conclusion does seem a bit biased
                  If you're honest with yourself, dispite which fan club you lump yourself into, you should at least be able to admit that (of course you would have to read something objectivly and not start off with blind devotion to one company or another)

                    It was not meant like that but anyhow, yes it may seem a bit biased.

                    I always liked Intel but i got my self a couple of Amd chips just to discover they are great!

                    I'm just a bit tired of all the whining about cheating all the time. Some people seem to belive all the reviewers are paid of by Intel, even our own one evidently. Even though they don't have any problems trusting benchies found at sites like amd.com :laugh:

                    And if it's not money, then it's most likely the software. Because everybody knows it, Intel can't beat Amd, just ain't possible.
                    : omg:

                    This type of militant brand addiction is so damn stupid, I for one had NEVER gone crazy like that if the tests had shown Amd is faster..

                    I'm NOT a pure Intel man due to the fact that I run both types of chips and i like em' both.
                    I just hate stupidity of the kind posted above..

                      I think it's funny that it is almost impossible to find a set of benchmarks for these 2 competing processors that will accurately compare them. In this article they use mostly Intel Biased benchmarks, and in others I have read you can see that Athlon XP can beat the latest P4. I just wish someone would do a review using a comparable number of Intel Biased benches vs. AMD Biased benches.

                      I agree that there is no need for over 200 fps. The average person can see no more than 70fps in the first place.

                      Here's a benchmark you can use on any system to see how well it will really work doing everyday activities.

                      www.caosciotocounty.org/rcable/zipcodes.zip
                      I haven't put up a reporting site yet so that you can compare scores but I have a P4 1.6 here at work and it completed the test in 42:13.
                      Hmmm... Interesting benchmark. Did you write it yourself?

                      But anyway, here are the scores my Athlon systems got. Tomorrow I'll take the test to work and test it out on some of our P4 systems. The sad thing is the fastest P4 systems we have are 2GHz.

                      And maybe I'll try it out on my dual 867MHz G4 Mac also to see how it does. :)

                        I think part of the reason there are so many "militant" people that back AMD is because AMD is the underdog. Some people just like to root for the underdog and love to see the big guy(s) (Intel) fall on their face(s).

                        Why are so many people so "militant" about the underdog? Well I'm not a psychiatrist but I think it has to do with the fact that some people feel like underdogs themselves. And I think in the group of people we're talking about, there are probably a lot of underdogs. Think about it, a lot of the "computer geeks" out there that actually know and understand all this stuff probably weren't on the list of "most popular people" when they were in school. A lot of them were probably considered nerds and geeks by the arrogant "popular" kids. And as any nerd or geek will tell you, they would like nothing more than to see the "popular" kids fall flat on there face.

                        Well in my opinion, this kind of mentality can carry over in the real world with out them even realizing it. The so called "nerds and geeks" will symbolize Intel as the popular kid on the block and AMD as one of them...... a nerd or geek..... an underdog. So they would like nothing more than to see Intel fall flat on their face.

                        And then there are people like me. I was neither a nerd nor a popular kid in school. I was kinda in the middle I guess you could say. But I don't care about anyone falling on their face. I like AMD over Intel partly because I feel betrayed by Intel.

                        Betrayed? Why do I feel betrayed? Well I was an Intel guy before the P4 was released. In fact I was extremely excited to read any and all prerelease articles about the P4 months before it was released. I drooled over any information I could read about the P4. And then the day came when the P4 was finally here. I eagerly read the first review and when I had finished my excitement for the P4 went from good to bad! I was like WTF!!!! What kind of crap is this?! The 1.3GHz, 1.4GHz and 1.5GHz P4 Willies sucked!!! All of them could barely out perform a 1GHz PIII or 1GHz Athlon!!! After doing some more reading my bewilderment turned into anger when I learned that (what seemed to me) Intel had lengthened the pipeline to 20 stages just so they could squeeze out more MHz. It seemed to me like Intel was more worried about selling CPUs based on MHz than actual performance. Sure, in hind sight this lengthening of the pipeline has paid off because today we are looking at a 3.2GHz P4. But at first I was pissed off and it takes me a while to get over being pissed off. I'm still stuck in the days when having a 1GHz CPU meant that you had a 1GHz CPU. But to me it seems like the P4 is a 3.2GHz CPU that is a little less than 3.2GHz. It just doesn't seem like its 3.2GHz.

                        So until I get over it, I'm still going to root for AMD. Because I don't want Intel to fall flat on their face because I feel like an under dog, I want them to fall flat on their face because they pissed me off. :devil:

                        Another (small) reason I like to root for AMD is because Intel needs the competition....... AMD will kinda help keep Intel in check (so to speak). If AMD wasn't around, god knows how much we would be paying for an Intel CPU today....... probably 3 times as much.

                          When I read the review (I always start with the conclusion) i was a bit shocked. But when I read the test results it turned out to be the same old story. Intel beats AMD on most fronts. The most important results for me are openGL and 3D. I don't care if it takes .3 seconds longer to open an excel sheet. Intel is about 10% faster on average on those tests, but over here they are also about 25% more expensive. So if you want just the fastest CPU go for Intel. If you want more FPS than go for AMD and use the rest of the money to buy a 9800Pro instead of a 9700Pro

                            Well, they way I see it, though Im AMD all the way through, Intel beat AMD in the tests, BUT, When they've got an 800mhz FSB, theey should be raping AMD, and well, they arent, for only running a 400mhz FSB AMD is doing a damn good job of keeping up IMO

                              Yep but one thing I can't understand is how people can stand they way Amd treats their customers, paper launches every now and then. Promises never beein kept. When was the first release date on the hammer for example, was it a year ago or what..:?:

                              Intel made that big one mistake on the first P4's with the lack on performance and all so therefore you lost faith in them. While Amd keeps doin' all those promises but NEVER keeps em'. I for sure is a hard man to please, if a company fail to deliver I take my buissnes elsewere.. If I were you, I would feel alot more betrayed as a Amd customer rather than Intel customer.

                              Not to mention al those PR ****. I know what it's fore but never the less most people think they got a 2.8 ghz computer just because they went out and bought a fancy new XP 2800+.
                              And don't think for a second Amd wasn't counting on that when they started the XP@blahblah crap.. :2cents:

                                This isn't only AMD. Intel also has had numerous paper launches. It is common in the industry. Look at Nvidia too. The P4 launch was one huge paper launch. AMD was actually delivering at this time. It all comes in cycles.

                                Paper launches don't affect me anyway since I am more than happy with my system right now. I don't need to upgrade yet.

                                I'm afraid this thread has become AMD/Intel bashing which wasn't the original point. The thread was to discuss the article which has a pretty inflamatory conclusion that is way off base.

                                I have no brand loyalty when it comes to hardware. I buy the best I can get for the money without breaking the bank. Right now the P4 looks quite good but I am not looking to do a major upgrade. When that time comes I'll evaluate what is available and make my decision. AMD or Intel doesn't matter as long as I am getting a great buy on powerful hardware.

                                The competition is very good for us so I wouldn't want to see either company out of it.
