Big time. Also notice the Sempron vs Celeron D.

Sempron 3100 = $125 - $140
Celeron D 2.8 ghz = $125 - $140

Same price, extra 53% performance. I'm happy to see my $80 Athlon XP hangs
with $200 P4s.

Yeah, I used to be an Intel biggot, but I haven't been too impressed
lately. My next machine may run a 3500+.

Maybe you missed the : ... It should be spelled Celeron : D ... (yes... it
is that ridiculous performance... : )

P4EE, is that a Prescott chip?? if so, any other cpu with same or lesser
clock speed will beat it because Prescott pipeline is too long (as long as
other cpu has shorter pipeline than Prescott)...

P4EE is Northwood, Prescott's are actually performing better than Northwoods
in this game though due to larger cache sizes (except the EE which has more
cache than Prescott).

The P4EE is a Northwood based P4 with 2MB of cache. The Prescott
outperforms the Northwood in Doom 3 (with the exception of the P4EE)
because it has a larger cache. Pipeline isn't everything.

Yeah, Intel has shown us that pretty well over the past couple of
years
