Athlon XP 2400+ true MHz

[Zap]

I've always thought that Athlon XP 2400+ CPUs ran at 2.0GHz. Was just at Pricewatch and looked up the CPU. Prices started at around $55 shipped, but I noticed that a lot of them advertised the CPU as running 1.93GHz instead of 2.0GHz. Did AMD actually make CPUs at this speed marked 2400+ or are these some kind of remarks?

interesting, Youll have to look up AMD's stats for their cpus.

The desktop (non-mobile, Thoroughbred core, 256k of cache) XP 2400+ chips have a default clock speed of 2.0Ghz.

The newer mobile (Barton core, 512k of cache) have a default clock speed of 1.8Ghz (but usually overclock to around 2.2Ghz - 2.4Ghz).

I'm pretty sure I've never seen a 2400+ with a clock speed of 1.93Ghz.

Nevermind😕...but the 2400 have always been @ that speed (133.3x14.5)...166.6 x12 would be a 2GHzer 😉

I've used a 2400+ and it ran at 2.0 GHz.

I am running xp2400
133.3x15

2.0mhz.
1.65v.

Pricewatch link for XP 2400+
Shows 1.93GHz on many of the CPUs. LED, I'm pretty sure the 2400+ is 15x133, not 14.5x133. I'm wondering if these are some strange OEM thing, or if they are remarks.

It prolly is 133.3 x15 ...I just look it up on my AMD tool proggie and both 15x and 14.5 equates to a XP 2400 as I've only installed one so to answer your ? "I dunno " and still confused 😉

Have a mobile 2400+ running at 2.3 Ghz stable.

IIRC, there were two desktop Athlon XP2400+ CPUs. One ran on the original 266Mhz DDR FSB, and another on the newer 333Mhz DDR FSB. The one on the slower FSB had a higher internal clock speed to compensate, so they ended up at the same PR rating.

Hmm, I thought that was it, but calculating it out.. 166.6 Mhz x 12.0, or 133.3Mhz x 15.0, both come out to ~2000Mhz exactly. Strange.

So which A-XP CPU was it, that had that issue? Was it the 2400, or something else? Was it a slightly slower-clocked Barton chip instead, with the extra L2 cache making up the difference to reach the same PR rating? I think that's probably more likely, I don't know offhand what the default clock rates were for the 266Mhz FSB and 333Mhz FSB Barton chips.

The Barton 2600+ is 1.93GHz, and is the only chip I can think of that runs at that speed.

Mine's running at 1.995GHz (133x15).

the only thing i can think of is that the jump from 133->166 equates some kind of performance increase

so that 133 x 15 = 2000mhz = 2400+
but maybe 166 x 11.5 = 1933 = 2400+ ?
