Pentium 4 1.3Ghz -vs- Tbird 1.1Ghz

[Adrenelin]

Which is the best for games?

 

[sandorski]

Tbird, IMO.

this could start a heated debate, but lets keep it civil. im not going to make a long post..its a simple answer. the p4 is a nice chip and its fast, same thing with the tbird! id say whichever you want to buy would be a good solution...for me it would be the tbird simply because of cost!

 

[PieDerro]

Best for games in general, the Tbird.
Best for Quake3Arena, The Pentium 4.

Best value, TBird. (Invest the money you saved in a FAST video card, more RAM or a RAID setup etc.)

intel p4 is better in games...
BUT
AMD is better in softwares..cuz it can pump out more frames per sec than p4...(oh yes!!=))...

Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying? Are you saying that P4 is better in games, or the AMD is better?

Hmm... maybe it's just me, but I don't see which one you're saying is better...

Is there any other game than Quake3 where P4 shines ? I remember when K6-2 came out, it also beat the crap out of the P2 in Quake2 using V2 videocard thanks to 3DNow, but failed to show off anywhere else..

Don't reckon so: I remember reading something about the P4 architecture being slightly different than other processors on the market, in that it's handling of error-interrups was poor - many games use error interrupts to trigger events because, ironically, they were faster on older processors.
