XP 2800+ VS. P4 2.8gHZ

[thePh@r@oh]

okay i know this has been asked a thousand times but i gotta make sure. does an XP 2800+ perform like a 2.8 P4?

[nurdonsite2]

well not if the p4 is an 800 mhz fsb one (i think). anyway, the athlon should preforme the same as the p4 in most things, and in some cases outpreforme it.

[thePh@r@oh]

games? on a 400mhz bus?

[Darthgary]

Ide say the 2.8.

The P4's outperform the Athlons in games, since the games want more raw horsepower and bandwith. Im not sure you'd want to pick up a 400fsb cpu like that cuz it dont leave any room for upgrades.

p4 2.8 is 533mhz isn't it?

Ummm.. that is the exact opposite of what benchmarks have told us for the past few YEARS.

Pentiums may have more raq horsepower, buy Athlon's bigger, shorter pipline makes them perform better in gaming applications.

Where did you get these benchmarks from?
