The Truth About Processor Performance (a.k.a AMD GHz vs. Intel GHz)

[TriEclipse]

Well AMD has it's competition for the Core 2 Quad in Q3 of '07, but only one quarter later, Intel has their 45nm version of the Core 2 series, including Quad Cores that work at upwards of 3Ghz (up to 3.73Ghz). Can't say things look too good for AMD for a while. There's a similar situation with AMD's K8L Dual Cores and Intel's 45nm Dual Cores.

Please post a seperate thread about this so as to not litter the sticky.

And just a minor correction, but Core 2 Duo has a 12-stage pipeline, not 14.

I have searched by google, and I found that Core 2 Duo has a 14-stage pipeline

 

[mizner07]

What does 14 stage pipeline mean?

My bad. Its the Athlon 64 that has a 12-stage pipeline, and not the Conroe. I knew it was one or the other. In any case, a correction is in order.
