Pentium4 3.2 Ghz with 2 MB Cache is out!!!!

[CheapTOFU]

Ok, so its expensive. But, how much would it cost say for a FX51, Motherboard to support it, and ECC Registered DDR to get the FX working? When I can just plop the P4EE in My existing 865 board with current ram. Didn't look at it that way, did yaz...

P4EE is only 32bit..
A64FX is 64bit..
It is wasting money if you buy a $1000 32bit CPU that won't work with 64bit linux or 64bit windows or any other 64bit software...

You AMD fanboys are so intelligent!!!

Intel is hardly in trouble....Think about it they have been able to sit at 3-3.2ghz for a year and still after all the hoopla with A64 they still have a chip that is very competitive all-around and in some areas still faster....That made a lot of money over the last few quarters....

While AMD is still loosing money hand over fist.

It IS worth more than my rig, even when it was new! And I've got a 19" monitor, athlonxp, 512mb ram too.

AMD's Athlon FX51 is the number 1 Ranked Home Desktop CPU on Earth for the time being and it may not be faster in all the tests but it sure blows away the Pentium 4 when it comes 2 Gaming and really what else matters 2 us more!!!!

(limit 3 per customer)

Aww only 3?? Guess its too much of a STEAL for anymore than 3 huh?

Actually gaming doesn't mean crap to me...I do not game at all...

For multimedia and rendering with my system I am sure the P4 is the best platform. Now that I have first hand seen the Hyperthreading in action I would have to see something a bit more special from AMD in terms of much higher clock speed....By the weekend I have a 2.4c coming that was tested to run 3.5ghz (1.6v). I got that for 180.00 shipped!!! The FX has nothing on me...

The world and aka "average joes" are not majority of them gamers....Just remember you are a small market segment and hence your purchasing power for AMD has shown why they can't seem to capture more the 23% of the Home PC market....

 

[THUGSROOK]

we really need to find Duvie a game to get hooked on

 

[Acanthus]

but the P4 has mobos that dont blow always a plus!

I saw Doom3 on pre-buy at EB last week. And HL2 will come out next year as well. One of those games ought to tie him up for a while.

Duvie, there is nothing wrong with playing a few games. I play games AND do lots of multimedia encoding jobs. They are not mutually exclusive activities.

 

[dguy6789]

oh, and you guys, the P4 3.2EE has 2MB of Level 3 Cache, not level 2 as so many of you think. and the extra level 3 cache increases performance on average by less then 5% sad to say,and this cpu is supposed to be faster then presscott. Intel is in trouble, but amd is not out of debt yet, so it is a jump ball.

 

[myocardia]

Oh man, you guys OBVIOUSLY don't remember the 450Mhz Pentium 3, huh? It cost around $1,000 for a retail version, and that was 1986 (or so) money, not 2004 (almost) money! All I have to say about the AMD-Intel debate is that you Intel guys need to thank both AMD and the people who have adopted them, or you would still be buying $1,000 P3's, today!!

Am I the only one who remembers how a 500Mhz Athlon KILLED a 650Mhz Pentium 3?

 

[w00lyMamm0th]

2 MB of L2 is impressive but yet I'll blow it away (and prove it) with an XP3000 Barton, 1 GB of 4200 DDR from OCZ, a Gigabyte A7NNXP (a mainboard that according to reviews often does FSB 500-533 when used with the 4200 OCZ; but I've also read about duds that'll only do FSB 380), SLK 9000 HS, a 79 CFM auto or manual adjust fan (got a 92mm Tornado now that does 119 CFM but the noise is so bad I actually wear shooting earmuffs when using it), RAID 0 with 2 15,000 rpm Ultra 160's that average 2.9 ms, an Antec TruePower 550 PS, another 280 GB's of HD's, an ATI 9800 XT with 256 MB, Lian-Li case, etc... . I'll be getting XP5500-6000 speeds. The only advantage Intel will have is the 800 FSB but the NForce3 also has 800 FSB. And by blowing it away I mean getting 30-60% better performance in any benchmark that isn't dependent on the 2 MB of L2 (also I won't be able to match the RDRAM speeds on the 875). And I paid $200 for the Barton and $50 for cooling.

Don't believe me? On another machine, I'm already getting completely stable XP5200 speeds (by stable I mean running both 3dmark2003 and cpuburn-in together all night) and have even gotten XP5500 speeds from an XP3000 Barton, 512 MB of XMS Performance hand-picked 400 DDR Corsair (advertized as pre-tested at 500 MHz on some sites and 550 MHz on others but if you read the small print that's only on an $800 Intel 875 mobo, so I'll never buy Corsair again), Asus NForce2 Deluxe, SLK 9000, etc... .

And everyone, I know I sound a tad (how understated can one be?) arrogant, after having 2 Canadian beers (Maudite), so, in advance, let me ask for forgiveness and I wish everyone a great holiday season.:beer:

875 doesn't use rdram.... i dont' know where you can get an 875 board for $800 either...


Mike

 

[w00lyMamm0th]

You are correct. The 875 uses DDR which makes it kind of silly since no DDR comes anything close to 800 FSB. The one I was talking about was some sort of dual processor Canterwood[sp?]. And I'm 99% sure that a similar one was advertized for $875 on pricewatch 2 days ago. I'm referring to serious server boards not consumer products. Correct me if I'm wrong again.

 

[w00lyMamm0th]

I'm a little confused. Since giving away my 1 GHz P3, I've for the most part stopped even reading any articles related to Intel CPU's. I used to be up to date but that was 2 years ago. I consider myself a newbie in many respects.

$1025 for a CPU. That is just crazy. That makes the A64FXs look cheap. Plus you get better performance
from the FXs. Oh well, I am sure some Intel zombies around here will buy it.......

Price is now a bargain at $1020

 

[lifeguard1999]

the 3.2 GHz P4 can be picked up for under $500, while the Extreme Edition is well over $1000. Thus, you're looking at over a 100% price increase for anywhere from a 5-10% performance boost at best. Those numbers are just really, really hard to justify.

I like that review. Makes me feel better about my 2.4C @ 3.5 beeing faster than all of them... No need for me to upgrade for quite awhile

 

[w00lyMamm0th]

Faster than my XP5000? Or this coming Monday's XP5500-6000?

Let's have a little competition. How many MIPS do you get with sandra? I get over 10,000 with my "slow" computer. Or how about multimedia? I get 30% faster than the newest Opteron, again with the "slow" computer.

You game?

 

[w00lyMamm0th]

Now I notice the C, no doubt standing for Celeron. Enough said.:evil:

You are definetly a computer illiterate person since you do not know what a P4C is. Not a Celeron that is for sure.

hehehe

w00lyMamm0th, the P4C is an 800MHz FSB Pentium 4 with 512KB of L2 cache, not a Pentium 4 Celeron...

 

[DukeN]

Some what agree. Tho it'd be nice to have still.
