Pentiun D 3.44 vs Core 2 1.86

[jitpublisher]

You see, this is what I don't like about Intel, and why I have stuck to AMD, and will stay with AMD until the ship sinks, (hopefully they can get back on track soon) even though Intel does have a better product now.
Intel has played the megahertz game for years.

Their whole advertising campaign and success has been based on faster MHZ=Faster PC. And they have been so succesful at it, MOST people outside of the enthusiast community still believe, simply put, more MHZ means faster.

So when more than just a few enthusiasts catch on to the game, they decide to rename their entire processor line and stop using the MHZ rating system.

Of course if someone calls/writes and asks, they are going to say something like that. It's hard to change a culture that has been driven by MHZ alone for years, they made a ton of money doing it, and they have old stock of processors to unload.

I am not tring to fool around with you people. Obviously what comes to a normal human brain how far would 1.86 GHz go? May be double but can it reach 3.44GHz?

I beleive Core 2 is better but 1.86 could beat up a pentium for about 2.8 GHz 3.44 is much faster so can 1.86 GHz processor beat 3.44 as well?

And yeah if you don'ot trust the mail i received from intel I can really forward it to you if you want.

I don't like to insult people, but...are you stupid, dumb, retarded or what?
Can't you read the above posts with all the answers????

-whats faster?
-e6300

-For sure?
-yes

-Yes
-Really?

Come on man, don't give him crap. He probably just thinks we are being enthusiats and Intel fanboys, or something of the sort.

The Pentium D's are a waste of money.... ALL OF THEM. Seriously, do not buy one, don't even stand in the same room as one. Core 2 smokes Pentium D's by a large margin.

Also, I would like to get a copy of the email from Intel please, that is just ludicrous information, but, like everyone else in here, I am pretty certain why they would say that. weskurtz81@gmail.com..... email it there please....

And if you clowns spam me, forum users.... I will haunt you. 8O

Gmail ftw!!!

Ill haunt you alongside wes, if i have to blow my brain all over the ceiling to do it, so be it.

 

[reconviperone1]

core 2 hands down, ell even a athlon 64 3800 might gibe it a runs for itsmoney

 

[reconviperone1]

oops i meat athlon 64 x2 3800

Theres this little button next to the reply that says "edit" kinda handy when you make a mistake like that.

not really you can overclock them up the wahoo the P4 805D with water colling to outperform the 1.96 C2D btw people he said the E6300, wtf are you all going on about the E6400, besides the first poststarted it, NO ONE is gonna go against this its a flame war now

 

[weskurtz81]

Well,

I don't really think we should compare the stock performance of one to the OC of the other. Do you? Apples and Apples, either max OC on both, or, stock performance on both. Because if he is going to OC a crappy Pentium D in order to achieve E6300 like performance.... why not OC the E6300 and blow any Pentium D out of the water hands down?

oh come one guys, just let him buy the pentium D (wink wink). ITs an awesome processor. You don't have to turn the heater anymore too 😉.

 

[sirheck]

Which Processor gives faster speed and loads applications quickly?

Pentium D 3.44 Ghz or Core 2 1.8 Ghz

don't say C2d is latest technology so it would be faster than high end PD because i already got reply from Intel Corp saying PD 3.44 would be faster but I am still confused to buy a new computer.


What should i go for C2D will be the future PD 3.4 goes faster now what to do?

go for the pentium D

Oh my god...

Lmfao... :twisted:

 

[nukemaster]

you should find all the info you need here

http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2795&p=8

You will see the power of 1.86ghz over 3.4+ PD's

As said above its all about the more work per clock and the SSE enhancements. These things are fast....

 

[weskurtz81]

And yes, you can OC an 805 close to 4ghz on water cooling, but the benchmarks show, it will still barely outperform a stock 6300. Check the link in this thread from Anandtech.

wes

Edit: with the money spent on water cooling, the 805 would cost more than the 6300.

 

[thahim]

i have sent you the mail apt403

shinigamiX thanks i understood now and i think after all these comments i'll go and buy C2D in few days

thanks guys.

shinigamiX thanks i understood now and i think after all these comments i'll go and buy C2D in few days

thanks guys.

You've made a wise, sound, and soon to be rewarding decision. Happy computing.

 

[bfellow]

I think you need to look to overclock the AMD Duron and compare it to them all!

 

[dasickninja]

*Looks at thread... shakes head at what he reads*

 

[shinigamiX]

Yay, I made a difference! I'm cool.

You're a fool.

In the pool.

 

[weskurtz81]

Thahim,

Send the email to me as well please. weskurtz81@gmail.com

thanks
wes

 

[dasickninja]

wes, foward email to me too. My email can be found in my profile.

I agree with that. Intel should install their Prescotts, Smithfields and Presslers into trendy space heaters that communicate with trendy refrigerators and coffee makers via wi-fi. They should not be placed in any desktop PC outside of Greenland, Canada, Alaska and Russia. Even with global warming, I'm sure the extra heat would be welcome there.

I was tempted by a Fry's bundled Pentium D 805 with an ECS AGP mobo at $93 for another PC, just so I could use two sticks of my DDR and the trusty old Radeon 9800 Pro that can still run Oblivion at medium.

I decided against it. When the income tax comes in on the 26th, I'll go C2D, get an X1950 Pro and 2 gigs of DDR2. Anyways, everyone wondering which CPU is better for the tasks they do should check out the CPU charts here at Tom's Hardware. My personal choice for benchmarks is how well a CPU or GPU runs 3DS Max and Oblivion.

3DS Max performance C2D 6400 Allendale vs. P4 3.4 Cedar Mill

I'll still keep my P4 Northwood for legacy games like the old Might and Magics, maybe even run Windows 98 on it. My next PC, built after the C2D, will be a multimedia PC with an Athlon X2 4200+ on one of the new AMD 1250 motherboards (modified X700 with AVIVO and H.264 encoding) when they finally arrive in February or March.

Now, I just have to decide if Vista's worth it in a dual boot or just go Vista later when I have a DX10 performance card.

 

[weskurtz81]

Ninja,

If I can get him to mail the damn thing to me, I will send it to you for sure. I am really interested to see this email, so, will do buddy.

Check out the cpu performance charts right here on Tom's hardware.

A 1.83 ghz Core2due performs with in a % or two overall of a 3.73 ghz 965EE

As a very good rule of thumb, C@D is, clock for clock, twice as fast as a PentiumD.

1.83 ghz C2D = 3.73 ghz PentiumD
2.4 => 4.8...
etc
etc...

He forwarded me the email a couple hours ago, ill just post it here. Not sure if its real or not, but this is what he sent me, and it looks pretty authentic.

Hello Saad,

Thank you for contacting Intel(R) Technical Support.

Yes, the Intel(R) Pentium(R) D processor running at 3.4 will give you more speed, because it has a higher clock speed.

The performance of the system will also depend on the hardware and software configuration.

For any Intel(R) processors buying recommendations, I would recommend you to contact your place of purchase or contact the Intel(R) Authorized Distributors at the following URL to discuss your processor needs:

http://www.intel.com/cd/channel/reseller/asmo-na/eng/46168.htm

Please do not hesitate to contact us again if you need further assistance.
