The first generation p4's got beat by slower clocked pentium III's
So a 1.5ghz P3 is gonna end up beating a 1.8ghz P4???? That's pretty crazy...
it's not about clock speeds anymore so even if you have a p4 clocked same as core 2 the core 2 will still beat it.....
it's not about clock speeds anymore so even if you have a p4 clocked same as core 2 the core 2 will still beat it because it has higher FSB and besides p4 has a huge multiplier which doesn't really give more performance compared to raising the fsb.
Well of course. haha.
So what was the point of the Pentium 4 exactly? Just to lure in customers?? Ive never heard of a new CPU coming out that wasnt at least on par with the older gen CPU's...
