[939-pin] AMD® Athlon-64 X2 4200+ CPU w/ Hyper Transport Technology

How many Ghz would this be in pentium language?

Its listed as 2.2Ghz, but dual core.

dont go thinking dual core 2.2 will get you 4.4Ghz clock speed, in most cses apps dont utilize the first core enough to even begin to use the 2nd... 4.4 is completely theoretical
 
what does that mean?

"You cant translated a AMD model number into an Intel model number, if you want clock speed then the clock speed is 2.2Ghz but thats brand-independant"

Actually 4.4 is just a number with no meaningful relationship with the 2.2GHz the X2 has

No, I wasn't confused (if thats what you were suggesting). I was just pointing out the fact that it was dual core.
 
Clock speed means nothing, and you can't really compare that to a specific Intel, because a "Comparable" Intel, still performs better in some areas, and less in others, so...
 
Clock speed actually means A LOT. The difference between a Pentium 4 2.4 GHZ and a Pentium 4 3.4 GHZ is dramatic. You could barely get around on the 2.4 and you would be hauling ass on the 3.4.

Yes, in some cases. But I think what SC7 is trying to say, is that a CPU cannot be rated on it's clock speed anymore. There are many more factors than the speed at which the CPU operates which affect its performance.
 
Exactly, clock speed is only really effective when comparing two CPUs of the same architecture.
 
I agree with SC7, even though i can get my CPU to 3.5ghz, it still isnt as fast as a 2ghz AMD 64 FX. Hell, its not even as fast as a 3ghz Prescott P4.

yep, look at conroe you won't even be able to compare intels p4's and their core 2's by clock speed anymore since they are dropping them down.
