I’ve got a question that I have never tried for myself, but I’m sure a few of you have with your AMD processors in the past.
If the minimum requirements for a program states 1.7ghz and you are using an Athlon XP 1800+ clocked at 1.533ghz; in theory considering AMD rates their processors to perform as fast as an Intel processor at 1.8ghz, would the performance rating truly run that program smooth even though the core clock speed of the AMD Athlon XP 1800+ is 167mhz slower then what the minimum ghz requirements are for that program?
The reason I ask is because I noticed on a lot of program packaging alot of them don't mention AMD Athlons minimum + rating, but instead mention the core clock speed of a processor.
Summary: ok, i got a ga-7zxr but it wont run at fsb133 which means my Amd xp1700 wont run at full speed, now i had a thundrbird 1.0 ghz in b4 at 100mhz, will i get any increased cpu performance using 1700xp ru...
Summary: I really don't have ANITHING against Intel or AMD, I've had both! But from what I've heard Intel has better selling and AMD better performance! It's really up to the user deciding what to buy... I thi...
Summary: 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 i...
