Hi, this X-mas I am building myself a computer and I will have a amd xp 2100+ processor. Is the 2100+ processor equals to a p4 2.1 ghz? I know amd names them by the pentium processor they compete against but some I talked to said the 2100+ is equal to a 1.7 ghz p4. That goes against all that I've heard about amd processors and their more efficent capabilies. Thanks for any replies!

But would the amd 2100+ match the p4 2.1ghz? I know it depends heavely what other devices you are running like mobo, ram, hd, ect.

I don’t know much about Intel CPUs but I don’t think there is a P4 2.1GHz.
If you read that article that I referenced in my above post, you’d know that an Athlon XP 2100+ runs neck and neck with a P4 2.2GHz. There are some benchmarks where the Intel chip beat the AMD CPU and vice versa.
Overall, it looks like a draw to me.

Yep. XP2100 runs at roughly 2.2 ghz performance.
It gets confusing. the older p4 (400mhz FSB) will be beaten by it's AMD XP equivalent. The newer p4 with the 533 will beat the AMD XP equivalent.
But it is all about to change again, with the new 64 bit cpus.

Summary: the AMD XP 2100+ does not mean it is 2.1 ghz what it does mean is, it should perform just as good if not better than a P4 2.1ghz, Right now I overclocked my XP 2100+ to an XP 2600+ only at 40c right n...
Summary: What is the better processor, a P4 2.0a 400 fsb 512 L2 or an AMD 2600+ 266 fsb 256 L2. I want to have the better system for mainly online searches, email, playing very few pc games. ...
Summary: Hi, I am really confused after reading the comments. I am going to buy a new system and at the present moment i can't make out whether to go 4 amd 2600+(with barton core) OR P4 2.6 Or P4 2.6HT..I can'...
