Actual AMD speed

So, theoretically, a 3.2 pentium is about as fast as a 2.13g amd? Im not sure I did that math right.

That would be between a 3200+ and a 3400+.

The price difference there is not that large. (between the pentium and the amd's)

Not... The AMS 3400+ socket 939 Venice is faster than a Pentium 4 3.2.

Amd 3400 runs at 2.2Ghz. The 3.2Ghz processor runs at 3.2Ghz. I hardly consider the AMD being faster.

Operations per clock cycle:

AMD: - 9
Intel: - 6

looked it up on several websites

1. It depends on the OPcalls being made
2. Many, if not most of the opcalls usually take 2-5 cycles to execute. The ones that take 1 cycle for execution ... they arent common (although more common on K8s than on Pentium4's interpretation of ASM)
3. Just looking at plain numbers like that doesnt take into account branch predictor efficiencies or cache hits
