I am just wondering, if anyone can tell me the equation of it that would be great! Thanks!

But is there like an equation for putting it in intel terms, like a 1.8 ghz amd is equivalent to a 3 ghz intel, so then what does a 2.7 ghz equal to in intel ghz, just trying to summarize it for you heh.

Tell me if I'm wrong, but I believe its these terms:

Venice, San Diego: AMD Ghz x 1.55= Intel Ghz equivalent

Clawhammer, Sledgehammer: AMD Ghz x 1.5= Intel Ghz equivalent

I wouldn't know calculations for X2 or PD.

So, e.g a 3700+ SD, 2.2GHz x 1.55 = P4 3.41GHz? That doesn't seem right...
A 3700+ SD would own even a 3.8GHz P4 in games...

the world doesn't revolve around games :D

Intel is up to 3.8G and AMD 2.6G true (no PR) so you can figure out who is faster.

you need to take into account that amd has a higher instructions per clock cycle - it does more in one clock cycel than a intel cpu, thus the pr rating, so your idea doesn't work....

The radar gun shows the vessel's speed and do not lie ok? It do not show how many tones she carry. The qwest was for speed not production/efficiency.

Also look up sarchasm in friendly dictionaries. Sorry missed the ;) responses above?

It's true, but the processor is named 3700+ for a reason.
A 3500+ is a good competitor against a Pentium 4 560.

Nobody even asked this....

Is it an Athlon XP or an Athlon 64?

Athlons perform very well in floating point calculations, so in "equally" rated CPUs, they will best Intel's for games. The opposite is usually true for productivity software.

they are a great website and give usually good reviews. i do not always agree with them but i still like them

that cpu chart is very valuable to a lot of people

There is NOT a conversion factor. The PR rating is based on real work. AMD has the numbers certified independantly.
Regarding the radar gun, thats absolute BS. Megaherz is a meaningless indicator of processor speed. Intel cpus work like a production line with 30 people. Each station does very little work, hence the production line moved quickly. Big problem, bad analogy, you get to station 25 and find out that all the products on the line needed power mirrors, everything on the line that has been produced so far is garbage. (Flush the trace cache).

AMD fewer workers doing much more work at each station, better branch prediction, better cache algorithm, must better hyper-transport, much better memory controller on cpu die, much better dual cpu, designed in, not two loosely stitched together only communicating via the fsb. I can go on and on. A benchmark can show exactly what you want it to show.

Hi, I don't think there is an equation. For example a 1200+ AMD was actually clocked at 900Mhz. AMD's claim was that it processed the same speed as an Intel 1.2 gig, thus the 1200+ designation. The best way to find out is to look the AMD in question up at an online seller's site. Most give the actual clock freq. with the listings. Jim

you're an idiot...the RADAR GUN shows us that the amd is faster. pretend there are 2 sprinters. 1 guy with long legs, and another with short super super fast legs. the guy with super duper fast legs may get him far, but the guy with long and still fast legs will win the race (/pretend).

You're wrong. I did high school track for many years and in sprinting, the guy w/ faster turnover always wins over the guy w/ longer legs. (The guy w/ longer legs is also more energy inefficient) It's in distance where the longer legs help you win over the guys w/ shorter legs.

But I do get what you're getting at w/ CPUs

lol, you owned him pretty good.

From what I understand, the higher FSB speeds of the AMD processors affect the clock speeds. So even if an Intel CPU is say 3.0GHz, an AMD chip with a higher FSB will be more effective.

To reach an equivalent P4 Mhz for AMD cpus = Mhz x 150% + 5%(if dual channel)+ 2%(if 1MB cache).

So for example an FX-55 =2600mhz x 157% = 4082

Another example, Venice 3200+ = 2000mhz x 155% = 3100

the fact is that the a64 does more per clock cycle than a intel cpu - it is more efficient, thus it can do more in a given amount of time.
