intel vs amd

[Ihatewalmart]

what is an intel pentium 4 3.0GHz converted into AMD?

 

[baronvongogo]

please dont put such a title you`ll start a mass intel vs AMD debate! theres been enough of them already.

and it would be an AMD athlon 64 3000+

well right now, that is converted to an athlon 64 3000+, which runs at 1.8GHz, but the yohna cores are already out from intel, and conroe is coming very soon, and the tables may very well turn.

You call Q4 soon? Thats like saying Vista is right around the corner...

 

[003]

it is for me anyway, time just seems to fly right past me now a days.

 

[Baez]

werent they coming out in Q3? or did they delay?

 

[Flanker]

Everything gets delayed. AM2 was supposed to be out at the beginning of this year.

 

[Baez]

good point . if for once companies would tell us the truth that they really have no clue...

and Vista just got pushed back until december last i heard. is it true that the numbers in an athlon (such as "3000") reflect the power in Ghz it would have if compared to an Intel?

Yes, they are "comparable" to their Intel counterparts. Ofcourse there are applications Intel performs better and there are applications AMD performs better.
