| This is just a thought. Why does AMD have lower clocks than Intel? You can get a processor almost the same price of an Intel for over 3GHz. I ended up buying a Intel processor and have 3.6GHz and could have bought a AMD for 2.4GHz. I don't know if I'm satisfied now. What do you guys think? | ||

I have a Pentium D processor and it runs at 3.6 GHz. How well does yours overclock? what is yours running at? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

| there is a very good reason for older pentium 4 chips to have very high clock speeds and amd chips to not. amd didnt need the high speed to get the same level of work or instructions per cycle done. intel used netburst technoloy which while allowing for incredible speeds, did nothing good for processor strength in day to day activites over amd. intel dropped all that and went to Conroe or a version of the p3 architecture which while overclocking insanely as well, they are sppeed clocked with amd chisp and do a tad more work per cycle than the current crop of amd chips. long and short of it. the intel older p4 chips were grossly inefficient when it came to heat produced and power needs. the pressler chips (last netburst chips) are much better at this, the core chips (conroe) are much better than amd atm in sinlge and dual core options. | ||

It also has to do with Pipelines. AMD has way more pipelines than Intel which allows more work per cycle to be done. I myself like AMDs Philosphy on the CPU war (aka, Lets do more work per cycle rather than clock this SOB as high as we can). Of course if a CPU had both a large number of pipelines and high speed as well, the results would be great. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

| right now AMD 64 chips are on top, in less than 3 weeks, conroe comes out and itll change to intel. but most of us are not after the most bleeding edge hardware. we just want it to work and work well. that and conroe systems are out of my price range atm. heres hoping for a review ![]() | ||

| I haven't really studied this lately. But in the past Intel's ran at a higher Frequency but performed less instructions per cycle (3 GHz = 3000 cycles). And AMD's run at a lower Frequency but they perform more instructions per cycle. So a lower speed AMD could keep pace with a higher speed Intel in most instances. Nowadays AMD has taken a big lead in gaming performance but Intel maybe catching up/or passing them with their new chip. Only time will tell :-) | ||

AMD For me, Some people are Bi Sexual when it comes to CPU's... ADD: I used the term bi-sexual in no means to be offensive (although, I dont know who would), but it best describes are how some people are when it comes to CPUs. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

True, but having said that, the Turion is still a very capable mobile solution and with a top part clocked at 2.4ghz, it's very competent in single-threaded apps. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I run AMD the only chips i well buy (as it stands now) but i have a P3 rig. One of my friends give me a whole computer so i choped and moded it. and if anyone wants to know i have two AMD rigs. One intel rig that was given to me. | ||
