AMD CPU equal to Intel CPU

[MU_Engineer]

I got my bench data from here at Tom's: "The 65nm Pentium D's Coming Out Party."

Benches:
1. Quake 3 Team Arena- closer to the 930 than 940, between them.
2. Futuremark 3DMark05 (Graphic)- beats both significantly.
3. Futuremark 3DMark05 (CPU)- closer to 940 than 930, between them.
4. Quake 4- loses to both.
5. F.E.A.R.- slightly faster than both.
6. Premier Pro:- beats both by a wide margin.
7. DIVX- slightly faster than 940.
8. Xvid- slower than both.
9. Mainconcept: faster than both
10. WME9: faster than both
11. Pinnacle Studio Plus: slower than 940, ties the 930.
12. CloneDVD- considerably faster than both.
13. Lame- considerably faster than both.
14. Ogg: considerably slower than both.
15. Winrar: splits the difference
16. 3DStudio: faster than both.
17. Photoshop CS2: slower than both.
18. FineReader: Significantly slower than 940, a touch slower than the 930.
19. AVG: considerably faster than both.
20. FineReader + AVG: beats both.
21. WinRAR + Lame: slower than 940, slightly slower than 930.
22. WinRAR + Lame + Ogg + WMV: slower than either.
23. Sandra MIPS: considerably faster than either.
24. Sandra Math: Faster than either.
25. Sandra Math Bandwidth: Considerably faster than either.
26. Futuremark CPU: considerably slower than either.
26. Futuremark memory: splits the difference.
27-29. Power consumption: I don't even have to say

So I count up 5 times that it falls between the two, 18 times it is faster than either, and 8 times it is slower than either. So I guess I have to say that my 4200+ is usually faster than either the 930 or 940. It seems to do better on things that require more number crunching than in raw data shuffling, where the 800-1000MHz clock speed difference is a liability.

funny, I thought we were comparing pentium 4, 3 gigahertz to a amd 64.

Well, I said that a 2.2GHz Athlon 64 (dual-core) was roughly between a Pentium (D) 3.0GHz (dual-core) and a Pentium (D) 3.2GHz (dual-core.)

Annihilate a P4 3GHz? I should hope w/ DDR500 & 2.8GHz OC'd 3700+.

But can it annihilate my X2 4800+? :lol:

In Single-Threaded apps? Bring it on .

Single-core was being discussed

Roughly 3000+
But it depends on the applications you use.
