AMD xp 2500 = Intel ???

[zha4fh]

The AMD xp2500 is a popular cpu for OC'ing. Pretty easy to do, from what I have read.
Which Intel CPU is comparable to the xp2500 in terms of easy OC'ing??

thanks.

prolly like the 2.4C

Its not just the MHZ that you compare....2500 is only 1.8ghzs but it shynes it different areas. Both have their pluses and minuses....but 2500XP is comparable to any 2.4Ghz Intel.

It is something like this:

P4 2.53B < P4 2.4C < Barton 2500+ < P4 2.66B < P4 2.6C

Give some, take some....

If all the chips are overclocked, then I'd say it's probably more like this:

P4 2.53B <P4 2.66B < Barton 2500+ < P4 2.4C < P4 2.6C

The 2.4C, when overclocked past 3 Ghz is considerably faster than the Barton 2500+ at 2.2 or 2.3 Ghz due to Hyperthread, memory bandwidth, and the extremely high FSB.

Don't forget that the barton was a terrible pr rating nightmare cause they reversed back on the mhz speed...in many appz if there is a 2500+ xp (which I don't know for sure) it would beat the barton just like the 2800+ xp did against the Barton 3000+.....

Also I will bet anyone that a 2.4c hyperthreaded is at default better then any 2500+ in a majority of all test across the platform of test......

I keep on repeating this over and over. 2.4C will beat Barton in everything that uses SSE and SSE2 optimization. In terms or raw processor speed, check the standard science programs or Linux use, Barton is more than equal.
If you are using advanced movie or music editing or 3D rendering Pentium takes the cake, optimizations play a crucial role. But if you are calculating science stuff (I search and generate digital paterns for example) I would say Barton is faster.
In gaming Pentium 2.4C is just a bit faster as well.

I agree.....Gaming is a slight edge to p4 2.4c....Multimedia is big edge to P4 2.4c....Scientific is a slight edge to the Barton

However I guess we should just ask the author of this thread his intended uses for the cpu then tell him from there....

I think either the 2.4b or the 2.4c Both will likely garner you 800mhz oc however the p4c at same speed as the p4b (from my testing) will be faster in most all areas and some quite huge if you use HyperThreading. I don't think the Barton oc'd to 3200+ or even 3400+ levels will beat either processor in most test except maybe the scientific programs....Again what is yoor use???

:beer: you guys are turning this into a Whats better thread !!! AMD or Intel !!!

All his asking is what Intel CPU would be the closest too the 2500+ and we all know its the 2.4c and the 2.5b

and thats using Single Channel Memory ... but once you use Dual Channel with the 2.4c thats when you get the 2.4 performing at the level of a 2600+ Barton

Dual channel with 2.4C is much faster than a 2600+ (non-existing) barton. The C chips are in a class well above the "B" ones.

edit: i take back everything i said.

ease of overclocking huh?

most of the p4's above 2.4B overclock relatively easily...

then again... define what you mean by "easy"
