AMD X to tha 2

HOLY CRAP! A 2.8 GHZ AMD? THATS SWEET!!!!

Anyways, it seems like amd is catching up in terms of shown cpu speeds. I think intels best is like, 3.8 isnt it?

that means the amd 2.8 is like equal to a 4 ghz intel.. WOW...anyways you want to be ahead of the game dont you. so you might as well go with the dual core x2

i wanna wait until m2 comes out.

Better I believe. Isn't the 2.8 one of the 4400 or 4600? In that case their marginally eqivilent to a Intell 4.4 ghz, and the dual core would be running intense multimedia programs betters than a 4.4 ghz single core.

I believe, but don't quote me on it.

the x2 4800 is running at 2.4Ghz, the fx-57 is running at 2.8,

wait so the 4800 is equal to a pentium 4 4.8 hence the "4800"
would that work for dual cores...? wouldnt meant the fx-57 is about equal to a p4 4ghz...

Well the dual core processors are pretty much dual processors in one socket, I believe (numbers are hypothetical) a 4000 X2 would be like a dual 2000 system... Ultimately giving you the speed of a 4000 system, just over two processors, you tend to have to use programs that utalize that or be running multiple programs.

you just blew that right over my head

Lol You know how Mac G5's are dual processor machines right?

Well, dual core is just like a dual processor machine.

But a 4000 dual core would be like having two 2000 processors running at once, effectively being 4000.

 

[PZEROFGH]

i get that, its like having 2 processors but really only having one but running at 2 processor, but physically its only one processor that has the power of 2 processors in one. one of those 2 for 1 deals

actually, the 4800+ is dual 2.8 cores with 1MB L2 cache each
