This post is based on some reviews I read in CPU magazines' 'PC MOBOS' Special Refence Series. They tested lots of Intel and AMD setups, but I was most surprised by this.
To compare the performance of socket 754 and 939 I looked at the Socket 754 Athlon 64 3400+ and gigabyte mobo and then pitted it against a socket 939 3500+ and another gigabyte mobo.
These were the scores surprisingly!
754/ Athlon 3400+
3dmark03 = 5822
Pcmark04
cpu = 4399
memory = 3559
graphics = 4647
Halo 1024x768 = 47.77fps
Doom 3 1024x768 = 20.2fps
939/ Athlon 3500+
3dmark03 = 5239
Pcmark04
cpu = 4099
memory = 5191
graphics = 4556
Halo 1024x768 = 44.94fps
Doom 3 1024x768 = 17.8fps
The 754 setups win in just about everything except memory! Other mobos weren't much different either!
