Pentium CPU’s are high in GHZ due to Pentiums architecture. Pentiums architecture is much more advanced than AMD's allowing Pentium to reach speeds of 3.8 GHz. some users of amd are now relising that amd's architecture is to balme for tha lack in GHz power, it’s so basic that fsb is the only part that can be advanced.
FSB is probably very important but not as important as clock speed, even Bill Gates said “a computer low in clock speed and high in fsb is not a computer i would have"
AMD have fsb's of 2000 now which is pointless as this will lag the information between the ram and CPU. Memory these days go up to 800 MHz, when running that with a CPU that has an fsb of 1000 will not improve much, in fact the ram would be playing catch up. This is why clock speed is important it makes up for the gap between RAM and CPU FSB.
No.....that is incorrect. The AMDs Athlon architecture is better then the Pentiums, thats why they did not NEED higher clock speeds to achive better performance then a Pentium at the same speed. The clock speed truely means nothing man. Compare the 1.8ghz Core 2 Duo to the 3.6ghz P4 and i doubt the P4 would win on any of the benchmarks. And bill gates can shove that up his ass, the man knows nothing. Iv always hated him......but thats besides the point. I dont know if he really said that or not, but if he did, thats his opinion, if he doesnt want a good computer then let him have crap.
Shall we go back. The FSB is the speed at which the cpu communicates with the other components in the computer (ie. memory, video card, other PCI cards, hdd, etc.) whereas the clock speed is nothing more then a high number put out to sell. I would never buy a 3.4ghz P4 over a 2.6ghz Athlon. I feel that anyone that would should be educated more on cpus.
My friend, you need to read some of this stuff and do some research before you go bashing AMD and making these incorrect statements....
And i can bet you anything if you had a cpu with an FSB of 1ghz you would truely amaze the world and it would have astonishing performance. However being able to find the ram that would run close to 1ghz would be a problem.....but if you get the ram to run 1ghz as well, you got yourself one of the (if not) fastest machines out there.
