I was checking out the requirements for some games and I noticed this
'CPU: Athlon 64 3000+/Intel 2.8ghz'

I was curious as to what that ment, I always figured a 2.8 was a 2.8 (only lately have I realized thats just not how it works anymore) ...can someone explain?
 
Right at this moment, Intel has better performance towards their Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad. AMD is cheaper, but they can't match the performance of the Dual Cores and Quad Cores made from Intel.
 
Which would run faster, an AMD 2.8 or an Intel 2.8?

What does that number with the plus after it mean in the AMD titles?
 
depends... is one a core 2 duo > athlon x2 ,or are they pentiums < athlon64's, FX-7x < Core 2 Extreme (Quad-cores)

i smell a flamewar cooking...
 
but since those requirements seem to be for single cores.... an athlon64 at 2.8ghz (faster) then a P4 @ 2.8ghz is slower... but don't get single-cores... its pointless... u need dual-core.. and core 2 duo is the way to go unless ur on a tight budget... then AMD is the way to go... and if ur even more hardcore... time to go core 2 quad
 
well clock speeds no longer matter... and the number does matter much either... because u could easily get a core 2 duo e6320 to perform as well as a EE x6800 thats a more pricey core 2 duo....

heres a better example...

an e4500 can perform better than the e6300.... if both are at stock speeds
