Hasta la Victoria Pentium!

Benchmarks; although, amd does ebtter with dx9 but pentium wins all the others

It's in German, but easy enough to understand :) And it isn't from last September, as your article seems to be.

In other words AMD is the best cpu for gamingrigs?

Re: AMD vrs. Pentium

Pentium for me.

I can't be arsed to keep up with all the AMD buzzwords. You know exactly what your getting with a Pentium.

Re: AMD vrs. Pentium

My sentiments exactly. I hate how the AMD processors use all that "2800 Q4 zebra version" stuff in the names. I prefer the straight out "P4 3.2 Ghz" name

Re: AMD vrs. Pentium

I agree with faction recon, I though the AMD 3200 meant it was 3.2 ghz; it was 2.4 ghz which is stupid.

Re: AMD vrs. Pentium

i call that a cheap trick to make a processor look better ;)

Yet still it performes nearly just as good as a Pentium 4 with 3.2 Ghz.

Just read the benchmarks. They speak the truth.

Best CPU out there: AMD Athlon 64 FX-53 820 Euros (160 cheaper than Pentiums high end machine, and quite a bit faster, even in 32-bit mode).

Best CPU for 400 bucks: Very close one, but Athlon 64-3400+ is slightly cheaper than Pentiums 3.4 Ghz, so it wins.

Best CPU for 300 bucks: dito, although this is pretty much a PAR.

Best CPU for 200 bucks: Athlon 64/3000+ owns that pricerange and is even significantly faster than the more expensive Pentiums.

Best CPU for 100 bucks: Pentiums has nothing to really to offer at this pricerange. But even the CPUs around 140 bucks are easily beaten by the 100 bucks AMD modells.

Ergo: AMD wins all, except for one paar. But you Ignorents just go ahead buying your Intel...

And btw, as soon as Microsoft brings out a 64-bit version of Windows, all 64-bit systems out there will recieve a boost of around 30%, which will leave Pntium way behind.
If you still believe Pentium is better than AMD, then that just shows how little you know about PC Hardware...
