go sempr0n!

Man talk about a suprise!

 

[Yanagi]

go amd! 😀

 

[StrangerGuy]

No surprise there.

 

[ElFenix]

its almost as if AMD's P-ratings are based off of Doom3 as its benchmark...

 

[sandorski]

ouch

 

[sandorski]

fargin jrun

 

[AmdEmAll]

absolute domination

Makes me want to upgrade to a clawhammer finally.

 

[viivo]

You have to feel at least some pity for the new Celeron. Poor little thing.

 

[jrphoenix]

Where is peteroy? I enjoyed reading his posts about how Intel is faster than anything AMD can make, quite humorous.:laugh:

 

[golgotha]

I feel no pity for Celeron. It's placed right where it should be: the bottom of the list 🙂

 

[SonicIce]

Impressive. What would the A64 3200+ fall between? (100th post 😀)

 

[SonicIce]

Even more amazing is that the Athlon 64 2800+ is only $150. An intel for the same price is a 2.4GHz Pentium 4, which is slower than an Athlon XP 3000+.

Anyone else surprised that the 3400+ (socket 754) beat out the 3500+ (socket 939)?

Not really, becasue Anandtech said that Doom 3 is really dependant on cashe sizes. If they used the ClawHammer 3400+ (1MB L2 cashe), that might be faster than the 3500+ (512KB L2 cashe).

But what about the Newcastle 3400+?😕

AMD pwns Int311~!~!@!!@

no it beats it in quit ea few things. Also the 3400 in that test was the claw hammer core with more cache.

 

[NYHoustonman]

My XP 2400+ is officially outdated :\.

 

[amdguy]

AMD ROXOR!!!

INTEL DIXOR!!

 

[Bumrush99]

Freaking awesome display of power by AMD. The Athlon 64 3000+ nearly beats the P4 3.2EE!!

You're right. I missed that it was a Clawamer 3400+. According to the AMD numbers from the article, there is a 2.6% benefit for dual channel (a plus for the 3500+) and a 3.6% benefit for 1 MB cache over 512 KB cache (a plus for the 3400+ Clawhammer). Using the frame rate for the 3500+ from the chart and doing the math,

94.7 fps * 0.974 (adj. for single channel 3400+) * 1.036 (adj for 3400+ 1 MB cache) = 95.5, fps for the 3400+

The math works. Guess I thought about this one too much! 🙂

Not a surprise given the fact that the K8 has a superior architecture (on die memory controller and HT) I am curious to know how the 32 bits Doom3 would perform in the latest beta of WinXP for AMD64.... 😛

HardOCP reported something similar crowning the FX-53 as the ultimate CPU for D3. Now what AMD needs is to fully support DDR500 or better.... no need for DDR-II yet.

a 2400+ was never top of the line, it was always out dated, it released simultaneously with the 2600+
