I give it up. Can someone hlp me? Not even Tomshardware can give me
the benchmark I need.
Thanks a lot,
Christian. |

Here, try this out:
http://www.anandtech.com/cpu/showdoc.html?i=1834
It's actually reviewing the P4 3.2GHz chip, but it includes benchmarks
with quite a number of P4 and AthlonXP chips, including both the 2.8C
GHz P4 and the AthlonXP 2800+.
Long story short, P4 is going to be faster for sure, the AthlonXP will
be cheaper. If you're looking at a dollar for dollar comparison, the
AthlonXP 3000+ vs. P4 2.8C GHz is a more accurate comparison.
Personally though, I would recommend the P4 2.6C GHz, since it'll
usually save you a decent little bit of cash for only a small loss in
performance. Intel's new i865PE and i875P chipsets are quite
attractive now, and this combo can make for a very fast and cost
effective base (though fortunately now that nVidia is making chipsets
for AMD, you can get a very good quality board for either processor).

Nah, this is a Pentium-4 2.80 not a 2.80C. So I need the benchmark
with hyperthreading CPUs.

I don't remember where I got it, but I have a Seti@home benchmark comparison,
it shows a P4 2.8C at 1 hour 37 minutes,
and an Athlon 3200 at 2 hours 11 minutes.
In real life, my Barton 2500@2700 takes between 2.5 and 3 hours per unit,
my P4 2.6C @2750 takes 3-3.3 hours, but processes 2 units at the same time,
in that time.
Running Encarta 2005 Enterprise Edition, the P4 system with 512 megs of ram
was noticeably smoother and faster than my Barton with 1 gig of ram.

This is the crappiest benchmark you could find. Absolutely irrelevant to
any kind of daily use, unless -- maybe -- your main use for your PC is HPC
(High Performance Computing), which I doubt it is.
And then, if you actually did HPC, you would recompile your software with
"-march=athlon-xp -mfpmath=sse -mfast-math", and you'd get much better
results. |
