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?

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.

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

[Froggin_Ashole42]

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

[BAM]

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...
