AMD , Intel equivalents

[Kurtee]

whats would a AMD 2.0 Ghz with MMX, 3DNOW, SSE, SSE2, X86-64 and 64 bit instructions be equal to in Pentium 4?

Estimates please
regards

Probably a 3.0-3.2 GHz Pentium 4

 

[Kurtee]

thanks

Any more estimates people? is that speed good for a gaming PC?

If the AMD is an Athlon 64 3200+ @ 2.0 GHZ, then an intel equivalent would be a 3.2GHZ Pentium 4.

And yes, if the AMD is an Athlon 64 CPU, is pretty good speed for games.

 

[Kurtee]

hey

what if its a sempron series

 

[wolfram]

They're slower than Athlons. If the Sempron says 2800+ for example, then it's competent with a 2.8 GHZ celeron d.

But it would be competent with a 2.2-2.3 GHZ P4 I think.

what if its a sempron series

the sempron is essentially an Athlon64 with a much smaller L2 cache. it can run at it's rated speed, but due to the smaller cache, it cannot access as much data as quickly as an Athlon64.

a sempron is a budget CPU designed for more basic taks. it may run some games fine, but it is not designed for it.

hope this helps :wave:

Semprons are like Intel's Celerons. Even though the clock speed might be the same for both, Semprons are much slower than Athlons because they run more instructions per cycle.
