p4's was just my example of the mhz they compare it to, not everything is literal. they did it to compare it to the intel chips regardless of which model.
first, no its not a model number so thank you for starting off your post proving you know nothing of the topic. yes its "kinda" model number but they do it to falsely represent what they chip is "like". i will explain this down in the post.
second, yes it is because they are saying its like a 6000mhz chip and the 4200 is like saying they have a 4.2ghz chip when its only runing at 2 something. so again thank you for once again proving you dont know the topic and again its to say what there chip is "like"
third, about 80-90% of my time i find my self running 90-100% cpu usage along with 1-1.5 gigs of memory in use. sketching on photoshop doesnt get you high usage, have 200 photos open that you are editing along with 15 other apps for web design and editing those and creating and rendering and etc. you will and i do utilize my computer to its fullest because i do work unlike most people that just want there computer for ocing, its my work and day to day business.
forth, the whole last half of your post is nonsense and relates to nothing i said and is completely backwards to what i was explaining. my point is that you buy an AMD and they have for years been saying that there chip is "like" (X) amout of mhz but its really about half that amount. i see there point and yes the lower clock speeds run faster then intels and the same speed and even a little high. im not talking about that. Intel can come out with a 1.8ghz chip after they have been selling 3.0 and 3.8ghz chips and know their consumers are smart enough to know that even tho these new chips have half the ghz of there old ones that its still faster. they didnt say Intel core2duo 1.8ghz 9,000+ to convince there buyers that there chips are really like something. AMD had to convince its buyers that all there chips are "like" having this much so that people would buy it. granted it worked and granted there chips may be like that amount or close to it, its still false and they kinda had to trick people into buying it so people would. cuz i bet you guys out there if you were 13-14 and intel had a new p4 at 2.0ghz and you saw AMDs chip to compete with it was a 800 mhz, no one would buy it. yes i exaggerated that but you get my point.
wow thats long and should cause amd fanboys to get hot headed. i dont love intels, i love anything thats good ive worked with Sun computers that didnt run either intel or amd and they were blazing for there time.
