how badly would a Sempron754 2800+ outperform a p4 2.4b?

think about it; 256kb l2 cache vs 512kb = 2x more performance for p4 + 1.6ghz vs 2.4ghz = 1.5x more performance for p4 == 2.4ghz p4 = 3x (sempron 1.6ghz!!!)









:roll:
 
Hard to say, since most of the PR ratings on Semprons are a little generous. I'd say they would be an even match given roughly comparable platforms.
 
now before i get flamed i know this isnt a definitive answer but here is sisandra and my sempron 64 2800+ oc'd to 2.4 ghz on air at 35c under load.....my mobo will only let me go to 300 fsb in the bios....oh yeah i put it up against the pentium 4 for fun.....lol....

not bad for a $75 cpu and a $50 mobo.....
 
We all know the semprons do well when OCed, but the OP didn't say anything about an overclock *P That's a 800 mhz overclock there. Given the fact that a 2.4b would do well to hit 3.2 ghz OCed, I think it's safe to say that the Sempron 2800+ would be a winner post-OC. At stock, though . . .
 
I'd say a 2800+ Sempron would be equivalent to a P4 2.4b chip. The only benefit you'd get is slightly better gaming performance, and a cooler running chip. Now, if you were to overclock it, that is another story.
 
if its a good 2.4b it will OC like a beast too.

i have a 2.26b and it can easily run 3.5ghz (206fsb) on default voltage 🙂
 
I'm not so sure the Sempron would win. I've seen reviews of the sempron vs celeron and there very close (stock), so I'd have to assume that this P2.4 could take the celeron....
