AMD Performace

[LambVouch]

How do you work out the performace of an AMD Processor from it's rating? Also, I was reading that AMD Processors can outperfrom Intel's with higher clock speeds, is this true and how can it do that?

Both processors are completely different and can't be compared to each other going simply by clock speed, cache size, FSB, or any other specifications. The only real way to compare them is to look at benchmarks.

AMD used to outperform the higher clocked Intel's, however it's now the reverse.
