You can't compare a Sempron or a Turion to a Pentium D. And Pentium D's aren't crap. You should learn a bit more about processors before you go making comparisons.
Yeah, all four cpu's listed in this thread will do fine gaming wise at present. I am surprised how many variations there are order wise though. It's not like it's rocket science..what's best for gaming, period. It's almost like this thread became a "what's your favorite cpu" thread.

I guess i'll throw im my two cents on my choices.....
Right now:
X2 3800+
Athlon 3500+
Pentium D 930
P4 630
Near future:
X2 3800+
Pentium D 930
Athlon 3500+
P4 630
Right now:

You're done.
The Pentium D and the Pentium 4 is like the difference between the Athlon 64 X2 and the Athlon 64.
The Turion is a mobile processor, which the Pentium D and Pentium 4 aren't, so you can't compare them like that.Big_j said:

Would you mind telling me why you would take the Pentium 4 630 over the Pentium D 930? Considering the Pentium D 930 is basically two Pentium 4 630's in one processor package.Big_j said:
And I do not consider the PD comparable to the Athlon 64 X2Me said:
For the last time, it my personall opinion/prefernce!
I'll expalin this for hte last time, it doesn't matter if it's a mobile processor or not. I'm saying that the differnce in performace (on a laptop level) between the Athlon 64 X2 and the Turion64 is like (not comparable to) the differnce between the PD and the P4. I'm not saying that Turion is better than PD or the opposite, I'm not comparing them with each other at all.
To put it simply, I simply don't like and would not buy a PD. If it will make you any happy, drop the subject.
- First up would be the X2-3800 for sure
- Next up would be the Athlon64-3500
- Then the Dualcore PentiumD 930
- Last but not horrible by any means, the Pentium4 630
Easy on the big words.
Yeah but what happens if he wants to play dualcore optimized games only?
Definitely and arguably rightly so (given dualcore optimizations for videocard drivers and only 200MHz difference for singlecore games).
LOL
Nuff said.
I would take the time to flame you but then Id have to teach you the basics about computers to start with or else you'd be sitting there wondering what I was talking about as I made fun of you. But I suppose I could do some charity work and tead you some things. First lets take a look at your order and see where you went wrong:
Well the X2-3800 at the top is a safe first choice and I might even be convinced if you noted that the Pentium 630 was better than the Athlon64-3500 for gaming simply based on the common misconception about clock speeds. But even accoridng to that logic (which is a fair common mistake) you should have put the PentiumD as second best (or at least ahead of the Athlon64-3500) as it's got a higher Ghz rating). If you need a further explaination about why your ordering was wrong, see the top of my post here. Now to address the silliness which you followed that up with
Actually it's not. It's a multicore version of the Pentium4 in that list ... sure in some instances it is a bit slower (due to extra negotiating overhead) but 99% of time it's significantly faster.
Well at least here you're comparing AMD chip to AMD chip so I suppose thats a better comparison however you'd also be mistaken because a 3.0GHz Turion would kick some serious ass.
Ah... the opinion line .. i've heard that defence before. Minor flaw in this case ... you said "Pentium D is Sempron equivalent. It's Crap" (spelling mistakes corrected) ... if if you subsitute what you meant to say, "Turion is Sempron equivalent. It's crap" ... well hmm in either case, neither are opinions, they are both (attempts) at passing facts not opinions. And the fact is, the Turion isnt crap at all.
Now THAT's an opinion! You'll notice that I dont bother attacking this because in fact, it is an opinion (which i disagree with but again, that's an opinion)
Well anyone who thinks a SMT rig is gonna out perform a SMP rig all things equal is a fool to start with, but again, this is a mission of charity, to educate the uneducated. Interesting that you failed to note what you supposedly compared this with and under what circumstances...
Comparing would fall under the "(attempting) to pass facts" more so than "this is what i think" column.
Sure you can
Whether it's a meaningul comparison is another thing hehe glad im not the only one to notice
Again with the (attempt) at passign facts. Lets see just how wrong you are:
- P4 vs PD .... PD is two P4 dies next to each other ... simple as that, they dont even share a core to core interconnect
- Athlon and Turion (I'll give u benifit of doubt and assumed you meant Athlon64) ... that would be like comparing a 17 stage chip to a 10 stage chip (as oppposed to the Intel chips which are both the same number of stages) ... and of course you know that the lower the stage count the more effective that chip is ... which is why PentiumMs can crush Athlon64FX chips..... you knew that right?
You can compare them.
Ok so are you comparing them or not comparing them?
Cuz really in either case you're wrong. Damn kid, you really pulled a good one ... given two choices most people only make mistakes 50% of the time, you picked both and managed to get them both wrong.Now it's closed.
