AMD vs Intel: Choose the Better CPU for Optimal Performance

[alexkerhead]

Barton. Its a little more than a year old. I'm happy with the overclock I'm getting, but I sscrewed up with the motherboard choice: I have an Epox 8rda and its fsb is nowhere near as overclockable as the 8rda+. 190 is my max depending on timings.

still very nice CPU..

I have a 2400 barton running 2.4GHz, but they are not the good ones, what I would like as in AMD would be a 2500 Barton Mobile, with multiplier unlocked..
Got the 2.4GHz up to 3.2GHz on my ASUS board, but I need better mem.

anyone use VIA or Transmeta ?

I've had my 1.4ghz Thunderbird for quite awhile now, and I'm *very* satisfied when it comes to performance. Over the years that I've had it, I've seen it outrun a few Pentium 3 and first-generation Pentium 4 processors.

A few years ago, I would've saved Intel for servers and high-end workstations (dual Pentium 3 Xeons are awesome, I know). Now that AMD has the Opteron, my next workstation will be an dual Opterons, of course.

yuppers, got a VIA C3 650MHz in my server with a passive cooler, and runs 29c when transfering files for two days and folding..

Do you able to tell me what VIA is you are telling ?

Sorry Being interupting. I have really deep interste in computer chunks and links.

not a problem, I am glad you are taking interest..
VIA is the third place competitor in the CPU market, mostly being used for blade servers, etc...
They are the coolest running CPU on market, usually only wanting a passive cooler, and somtimes, like in blade servers, no cooler at all..
My C3 is a Samual core, witha 100MHz bus, with a multiplier of 6.5x.
Here is a 1GHz version(not samual)(it is an ezra), it is on par with the performance of a 600MHz P3, but the C3 does not need any good cooling, I just recommend a passive heatsink..

I don't see the big debate. Athlon 64+ 3800 is the best you're going to get at this point and time. If you like Intel or you need it for encoding, office use, etc. then get the Intel P4-560 3.6GHz. Stop debating, and start saving money. :p

AMD opteron fx53 is the best for now(2.4GHz)
and that "technically" competes with a 3.8GHz P4

but there are http://alexrushing.com/miscpictures/megaownage2.jpg

btw, we were talking about via..^.^

you want to see what you can do with the best componets out there go to www.go-l.com and look around

of course this is assuming price is of no consequence but they are some of the best comps possible

that is some sick stuff, and a cool web design
