www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/sempron.html

According to this article a series of benchmarks puts a celeron d at 2.8 at roughly on par with it


"It is clear that the Semprons with ratings of 3000+ and lower, i.e. intended for Socket A systems, are slower than the Celerons working at the frequency that equals that rating, by about 5-6%."

Their quote not mine so flame them

And no its not gospel, written in stone and the be all and end all of reviews.
They may or may not be intel inclined, they may be secretely intel funded whatever. Just posting for interest sake.
I have nothing against AMD
AMD are good, so are intel.
Right think I covered my ass on this.

297443 2004-11-30 07:59:00 What was the point of this thread? Who cares what processor people have as long as it does the job that's required of it!

I think I should start a thread 'OT-I am sick of moaners'. I can assure you, without Intel, 'Telescam' and 'Microscam' and any others you want to moan about, we wouldn't be living as well as we currently are.

LMAO :^O I don't think you can compare a Sempron or Celeron with a Barton XP...

297445 2004-11-30 08:18:00 why is the barton xp to good for them noone (22)
297446 2004-11-30 08:22:00 Yes george12 (7)
297447 2004-11-30 08:22:00 vs celeron - barton has superior architecture, more L2 cache...

vs sempron - barton has more L2 cache and benches show they are rated higher but performer worse than compartive XP processors.

A 2800+ Barton should provide the same performance of a 2.8-3.0 GHz P4 in most circumstances.

297448 2004-11-30 08:25:00 cool noone (22)
297449 2004-11-30 08:27:00 whats even more wierd is that those new laptops have like cpus of 1.1ghz and they call that a powerfull machine and they are meant to be about the same speed of a 2.8ghz ...... Prescott (11)
