What do I need to get Pent D to 4Ghz...

[Lithan]

I just ran these at 3.73Ghz, the same speedas the dual core. Its a single and shows that you lose 2 seconds with semi crap timing, I could add a few 5's in there to see how much worse it gets.

I wonder how much OC on the CPU I would need to make up those 2 seconds.





For bandwidth intensive apps this is a huge performance hit. And I am sure most of the reviews would have favored Intel in a lot more tests that were run.

Be fair though, short of compression utilities, Spi is about the most affected by timings of any benchmark.


Edit: Compair these two reviews. For the AMD x2 vs Intel D, Intel has 4-4-4... but for the Amd 64 vs Intel D (2.8ghz) vs Intel 630, Intel has 3-2-2. You can get a fairly good grasp of the impact timings have by cross-referencing.

1st multitask test. Intel 3.2ghz D (4-4-4) no HT beats Intel 2.8ghz D no Ht (3-2-2) by 8.25%

2nd: can't be compaired (they changed the method)


EDIT:


Scratch that. Found a compairison with a 3.2ghz D @ 3-2-2... so compare

with

Only difference I can tell is 4-4-4 5:3 vs 3-2-2 4:3
