Check this article guys and see what it takes the presscott to be on par with the fx55, when you look at the fx speed at 2.6ghz and the presscott had to be at 5.2ghz well that should give you an idea of the two type of architectures...you make your own conclusions..and for those whose gonna talk of encoding...well what if these apps were written with AMD in mind..

Your subject title is a lie and yet you will get the flames you are obviously seeking. :roll:

Wow, that was one of the worst setup comparisons I've seen.

I love how they alternate the graphs for the P4 and FX-55, oh and then don't compare the FX-55 to the P4 @ 5.2 for half the benchmarks.

Sorry but that was just plain bad.

Yeah, I agree. Stick to Anand, I say.

Repost + what kind of responses are you expecting to get + you're insane if you spend that much on processors (or you're filthy rich)

umm....that place is so bad?

We've already disputed this exact article months ago and showed that it is BS. If you actually take a calculator and calculate the performance advantages that P4 5.2 holds over FX55 youll see the performance advantage is 2-3x greater than the performance advantage that FX55 holds over P4 4.0ghz. Thus it'll take way before P4 5.2ghz to match FX55's performance. Also comparing only gaming benchmarks is only part of the story. What if we made a whole article on rendering to see how much it'll take A64 to get to match P4 4.0ghz? Well...you get the idea.

Bingo!

It is so easy to skew benchmarks.

So we hope our findings put an end to all of the discussion about who?s got the fastest processor on the market, that processor is none other than AMD?s Athlon 64 FX55. Due to diminishing returns the Pentium 4 processor needs a whopping 5.2GHz clock speed to keep up with AMD?s flagship processor. So was it a good decision on Intel?s part to announce it will not be shipping a 4GHz processor? We think so, as the Pentium 4 was just never going to best AMD?s Athlon 64. Craig Barret clearly had guts and vision when making that decision, or, and that?s just as likely, he knew the 4GHz Pentium 4 needed another 1.2GHz to soundly beat AMD?s fastest, and that just wasn?t feasible.

..so is that true?? No 4 gig p4 from Intel??
