Hahaha, i quoted you. anyways, the equivalent is for the name of the AMD chip, not the actual speed. like my AMD Xp 2400 on my old comp is a 2.4 equivalent, but in reality the clock speed is 1.99ghz. so, the actual clock speed is right, the numbers in the name system is wrong. ie, the AMD 3200s are supposed to match an Itel 3.2, but in reality runs slower, but makes up for it.DoomUK said:Interestingly, and don't quote me here, but I was told that AMD's advertised clock speeds are an Intel equivelent; i.e the actual clock speed for a 2.2ghz AMD is about half of that (1.1ghz-ish), but basiclly it's just as fast as a 2.2 Intel (shorter pipelines etc). Therefore a 3.2 Intel indeed has a faster core clock speed than a 2.4 AMD (but the latest AMD's being 64-bit more than make up for it).....
Any thoughts anyone?
but I was told that AMD's advertised clock speeds are an Intel equivelent
im looking in to AMD series CPU's and i was looking at the AMD FX-53.....its is only 2.4 Ghz!
