StriderVM Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 AMD of course, in reality, if you will make it comparison, speed "per" Mhz (Err. bang per mhz... XD), then AMD's is definitely faster........ Because in reality AMD's processor's are a whole lot slower Mhz wise, but is still very competitive to Intel Processors. As for Cyrix.... After trying out the M3, bleh, a perfectly configured K6-3 processor is faster of exact clock speeds, believe it or not....... Anyway, whats the news on the current, fastest, latest processors?
Wizard Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 Intel P4 Extreme Edition 3.2(?) Ghz. 2mb in its cache, 800 fbs, fastest CPU to date
possessed Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 AMD all the way, although SPARC cpus (SUN) are gr8 for some work
Gryph Posted February 2, 2004 Author Posted February 2, 2004 Intel P4 Extreme Edition 3.2(?) Ghz. 2mb in its cache, 800 fbs, fastest CPU to dateWell MHZ-wise. The AMD Athlon FX-51 performs better though, atleast in games (where it counts )
Juniel Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 so...uh..where does cyrix fit into all this? anyone wanna say anything good about Cyrix?....or not...
Lightsier Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 (edited) Pentiums are always clocked higher and people are like "OH MY GOD! IT's 3.4GHZ! IT MUST BE FASTER!" Which is untrue. AMD's are not clocked as high at Pentiums, but preform faster. The whole clockspeed is very misleading. And why you picked Cyrix? I dunno, that thing sucks. I'd put it on a sucky level with the Celeron core. Edited February 3, 2004 by Lightsier
Gryph Posted February 3, 2004 Author Posted February 3, 2004 It's a joke, that's why I put it up. Because they suck so much.
Wizard Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 Well MHZ-wise. The AMD Athlon FX-51 performs better though, atleast in games (where it counts )Yeah, AMD has the things down. While all Intel cares about is just breaking barriers. I need a price on a FX-51 -_o'
possessed Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 i'm gonna wait for the FX-50 to come out, i'm not in the mood for buying registered memories (i'll keep those in mind if i build and opteron based server) btw about cyrix, they had a nice concept, which is actually what amd uses today, more MIPS, less MHz, but the arquitecture wasn't good enough (the world wasn't technologically advanced enough for it)

possessed Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 A company ahead of its time, just like Sega but sega was luckier they still had the software department to keep on the name, Cyrix is now just a memory
