What you mean is that an Athlon 64 2Ghz can "outpace" a Pentium 4 3.4Ghz. Because there is no way an Athlon 64 2Ghz can outpace an Intel Core Solo at 2Ghz.Vigor said:I see, AMD wins then?
And a AMD with 2.0GHz can outpace a Intel 3.4GHz.
Intel=Old Generation.
AMD= Next Generation.
I higly doubt that a 2Ghz A64 can outpace a 3.4Ghz P4, except maybe gaming.

yep, but i'd prefer an athlon 64 2ghz. why? its a desktop proc. laptop = 5400rpm hard drive and x1400 video card

So I hear AMD Athlon 64 XF dual core is latest and best.
Also hear that a new Intel might blow the XF away in this winter.
Does that mean there is going to be a new AMD that will blow away the new intel generation?
Dude my computer is old generation, I am gonna refund my vid card and tuner and wait for next gen in october also Microsoft Vista with my $40/day budget.
I didn't know my friend knew a lot about comps and technology lol, I must live in a cave...

its Athlon 64 FX, not XF.
the cpu you hear will blow the FX away is conroe.
also, AMD has a new socket coming out rumored to feature a new "reverse hyperthreading," and soon after a quad core architecture.
also, you were talking about a core solo omega...
and i was saying i'd rather a fast video card + hard drive (and dual channel ram as well) rather than a faster cpu. really, any core solo duo or athlon 64 will do. especially since a desktop can more easily be overclocked.
also, there will be a new type of component in gaming computers, and it will be called a Physics Processing Unit.
it will first be introduced on pci then on pci-express, and is rumored to have support of 5-15 games that will be coming out soon. it is rumored to process physics 15-30 times as well as any dual core processor.

You can get 7200RPM HD's and 7900 in a laptop.fade2green514 said:yep, but i'd prefer an athlon 64 2ghz. why? its a desktop proc. laptop = 5400rpm hard drive and x1400 video card
OWNED. lol sry had to say that... lol
And also, they have adapters and motherboards which can fit a Core Duo.

AMD Dual core's trump Intel's dual cores. But Intel still has the upper hand in their single core processors. read this: http://www.geek.com/news/geeknews/2005Dec/bch20051215033811.htm
Apparantly the Pentium M's that are used in laptop's mimic's AMD chips construction, and Intel is going to use that design for future chips.
I think it will be interesting as to how they market those, because to the normal consumer, they think a processor is better when it is faster, but if they use the pentium M design, they will no way be able to hit anything more thatn 3.4ghz or more (anytime soon I think, but if they do, Intel is gonna take the performance lead.)

If anybody is mimicing anyone, it's AMD mimicing Intel's P6 architecture.Thug541 said:
The Pentium M's are based the old P6 architecture (used in Pentium, 2 and 3), except that it has a variety of enhancements which the base architecture never had, which led Intel to call the enhanced P6 architecture something like P6+, and P6++, just to show that it was an improved version over the previous.
