Athlon XP 2500 VS Pentium IV 2.4C

[PsychoE]

Who's had a better performance in games and OC:
AMD Athlon XP 2500+
or
Intel Pentium IV 2.4C GHz 800FSB
???

I know that the AXP 2500 is working on 1.8GHz and the 2.4C is working on 2.4GHz, so... it's not a big difference ?

With the 800 Mhz FSB it probably will be. But then again... you can overclock the XP2500 to use a 200 mhz FSB, then knock the multiplier back down to get back to 1.8 and then compare... I'd actually like to see how they compare... anyone wanna donate a 2.4C and motherboard to me so I can test? =)

hehe, how much i would love that.

If someone would like to donate it for the test... I'll raffle it off, and some lucky guy will get it for free =) Hey AnandTech... you MUST have some spare parts laying around

At stock speeds the 2.4C is faster, at overclock speeds, most people are hitting over 3.0ghz with the P4 and with the AMD they are hitting the 2.0-2.3ghz barrier. With the higher FSB I would say the P4 will whipe the floor with the overclocked barton. Unless you're really lucky and get an overclock over 2.5ghz.

If you want to compare, find a benchmark for the new XP3200 and compare it to a P4 3.0C

Anyone find one?

I was on a budget so I just got the 2500+ myself.

hmmm..... looks like a better test is the "XP3200" against the "old" P4 2.4b.

I have a 2.4C coming in soon, running it with a Ti4400 that o/c'ed to 300/610, that's a little slower than what Jeff7181 was running. My 2.53@2.83 (149FSB) does about 13700, I'll let you know what I score with the 2.4C later.
