LOL I love this, THG's CPU charts shows the EE to be faster.

Isnt that BS! I just wanted to see how many other people thought so.

Select the FX-53 and then select the P4 3.72 EE. They say the 3.72 to win about 80% of the benchmarks which are all based on encoding any way.

Hey, I voted for the EE before reading the thread. The FX-53 just isn't that fast anymore, having been left thoroughly in the dust by the FX-55 and 57.

The 3.72ghz EE is a newer chip, too, though I think I'd rather have the 3.46 ghz EE.

 

[Shenkoa]

It even shows it to be faster then the FX-55. I do think Intel funds THG to post biased benchmarks.

 

[DrMrLordX]

Yeah, here's Anandtech's review of the 3.73 ghz P4 EE

It sort of trades blows with the FX-55 until you get to the gaming benchmarks, where the FX-55 predictably dominates. I wouldn't say the 3.73 ghz EE is faster by any means. Depends on what you're doing with it, I guess.

It certainly is faster than the FX-53, though.

Yeah that chart is full BS, how do you make the mother of all CPU charts and only bench 2 things. Why in the world woun't you choose something else after the first to or three encoding benchs instead I think they put 9 or so in, alsmot more then the games.

 

[coomar]

the EE is faster but why are we comparing these 2 chips?

an amd64 3000+ at 2.5?

 

[Dribble]

Didn't vote as the poll is silly. Sounds very much like you want everyone to agree that the amd is faster then the intel, and/or wanted to do a bit of tom's bashing at the same time.

If you really care about which is faster - then what are you doing with them? Do you actually have the option to buy one? How much for?

tbh I don't know why you would buy either chip as there are better cheaper chips on the market these days.

 

[Shenkoa]

I want everyone to vote the AMD = WRONG! HAHAHA YOU!!!
Itended on doing some THG bashing = WRONG HAHAHA YOU!!!


OWN ALL THE NOOBS THAT THREAD CRAP!

 

[Ronin]

Banned.

 

[Jeff7181]

I vote for hidden option #3... Intel 386SX @ 8 MHz.

 

[Shenkoa]

LOL! wow, thats a classic.

 

[phaxmohdem]

I"ll see your 386 and bench my 486 DX33 OC'd to 40MHz against your rig any day.

(pushes turbo button) 12 Mhz... what's up now, foo?!

 

[Markbnj]

Harris 80c286 @ 20 mhz. Screamin'

 

[n7]

They are pretty close.

I didn't vote, since either is better depending on what you use your PC for.

I've already voted for hidden option #4 - Intel 8088 @ 4.77MHz.

Don't laugh, I owned a pair, and one still runs
