amd-intel ghz comparison

l i wanna buy amd athlon 64 fx 5000 black edition, once i build my pc... just wondering how tht would compare to a p4 2.1ghz.... and how is theb ghz in amd cards compared to intel ones...simpsons1fan

It would destroy any P4 , it'll be like night and day. Compared to the new intel core 2 CPUs however, it's not as fast clock for clock, but it's still a good cpu up to todays standards.

core 2s would destroy the AMD's dual core processor tho. but AMD 64s? hiphops_savior

Yes, Intel core2duo also destroy 64 x2.

A 64 fx 5000 is compared to an E2180/E2200 (actually a little worse overall than the E2200.)

Why are you comparing to a pentium 4? Core2Duo's are the current dual cores and they DESTROY any AMD CPU out there!

y well i rly wanna try out amd... i dont care if its not as strong as intel... i just thinmk to liek em more....

and for a 2ghz cp from amd, what ghz would that compare to a intel cpu>

You think you like them more? That isofficiallythe most stupid thing i have ever heard!

Well if you had an AMD X2 and a Core2Duo running both a 2Ghz the Core2Duo would perform better!

Maybe 2Ghz AMD = 1.8Ghz Core2Duo....something around that!

The P4 is a lot slower than anything that AMD still manufactures. As for the x2 5000+ BE, a X2 AMD performs a little worse than a Intel C2D, but X2s are way cheaper. On average the Pentium Dual Cores perform better as well, but not by as much. It really depends on the size of the Intel chip's L2 cache size.

On average, C2Ds are an average of 400MHz faster than the X2s. A 2.66GHz C2D is a little faster than a 3.2GHz X2 in some cases. A 2.2GHz P dual-core would be about on par with a 2.5GHz X2.

Keep in mind that AMD chips are not only cheaper, but the AM2 mobos are cheaper as well. Also keep in mind that the 5000+ BE does not come with a fan. With the way the prices are now, it is really a matter of preference if you want AMD or Intel. I went AMD because the mobo was cheaper than the Intel mobo of slightly lesser quality (worse integrated sound).

The X2 5000+ is a dual core and the P4 is a single, they are nothing alike. The X2 5000+ is way better then any P4, here is a chart from tomshardware that you can look at to compare. Its not the best site but it will work for this.

You can see that the 2.6GHz X2 beats the 3.8GHz P4.
