AMD Overclock: What do you call it?

[HGC]

Is there a list somewhere that gives the XP 3***+ ratings for different overclocked speeds of different processors?

For example, does an XP-M 2600+ (mychip) running at 2000 equal an XP 3200+? If I run it at 2200, does that make it an XP 3400+?

Would an XP-M 2400+ running at 2000 also be equivalent to an XP 3200+? Same for an XP 3200+ running at 2000?

Is the rating different depending upon how much of the overclock is due to upping the processor speed vs increasing the FSB?

Thanks for any input.

They seem to have updated the ratings to be more conservative. That should give you a more realistic performance comparison VS P4C/A64 CPUs.

Normal? 🙂

Here is a good list of the athlon XPs and there various clock speeds and FSB speeds. Depending what bus you're running at, it looks like you're around a 2700+ or 2800+ when running a barton core at 2000mhz. The 3200+ runs at 2.2ghz/400mhz fsb or 2.33ghz/333fsb.

Thanks for the info guys , it's helpful. Is there a rule of thumb on this, or a table somewhere that allows for higher overclocks? I improved my cooling and am now at 11.5 x 216, or 2484. Don't know what my bragging rights are now, maybe 3300+?
