Pentium4 3.4 Extreme Edition the fastest gaming processor on the planet!!!

[caz67]

Hi All.

I read a really good review of the P4 3.4EE on Sharky Extreme. The review claims that the 3.4EE, is the fastest gaming processor on the planet..

What do you think???

P4 3.4EE

What do you think???

I think this thread is flamebait.

i dont think that most gamers are prepared to shell out a premium for the P4EE when you can get AMD64 for much less with just about equal or better gaming performance. Now if they had priced the EE say around 200 what a success it would have been

 

[Ackmed]

I agree, its FAR from a mainstream CPU. The 3400+ is very close, and costs MUCH less. It doesnt make much sense at all to get one, unless you want to brag about some benchmarks.

Im not trying to start a flaming war.

AMD 64 rocks, there is no doubt about that.!!

I am just trying to state, that AMD dont have the gaming world, all to themselves.

It gives Intel fans, a glimmer of hope..!!!

I definitely agree, with your comments.

AMD is definitely mainstream, and the EE is targeted to the very high end market. For the masses AMD, is the way to go, because its affordable.

Intel, are targeting specific market share. If Intel, dropped the prices of EE to 64 prices??

Why would you honestly buy AMD??

The fastest gaming chip , with HT..AWESOME..!!!

Why not just grow some and say "This is a flaming thread." Then at least we could respect you, whether our opinions differed from yours or not.

Hey myocardia..

Im not trying to start anything..!!!

Honestly, though..if Intel, targeted the mainstream..??

But they (Intel) haven't targeted the mainstream market. That is the problem here, which glossing over and saying, "yeah, but what-if?" will not help. EDIT: If they do, then revisiting the price/performance comparison between the different processors will be warranted.

There's no point in putting information on performance in this post, because most people desire a combination of price and performance. As well as the fact that in general one can manipulate both the testing methodology and the resulting statistics to get the desired conclusion. Or, put results not in context.

And "IF" my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle.

What-if games are foolish and pointless. At least in this setting. Now "IF" I were Supreme Ruler of the Universe, well, that would be different :evil:

Yeah, honestly if Intel dropped the prices to where they should have been all along, then you would actually have a very good point. Do you realize that, besides Micro$oft, Intel has the highest markup in the industry? Intel has always tried to have a $1,000 chip. The first time I saw a $1000 Intel chip, I kicked the end out of my baby bed, and I'm in my 30's now.

I think 4 Opteron 848 Processors would be faster... (since obviously money is no object if you're considering the P4EE)

BTW... myocardia... Intel can't drop the prices or people will buy the P4EE instead of the Xeon for servers since the P4EE is just a rebadged Xeon. Same reason the Opteron 148 and A64 FX-51 are about the same price.
