Which processor would you chose and why?

I've never used an AMD CPU, but I do have a P4 3.0ghzICQ: 16544251 - Skype: gator37 @ eastlink.ca - email: yngwie @ isys.ca -
Would depend on the core/series. Care to be more specific?
And an athlon xp3000 is not 3.0ghz. ;)Comment

I own P4 3.0ghz for about 12hours now
Ran a benchmark. Compared my stats. And it seems that AMD 64 are much more better for games than Pentium is. Of course, one test doesn't mean a lot.

AMD but not by muchComment
-
im a amd man but between those two i would go with the pentium its newer and more powerful.Comment
-
At this stage I would go for a dual core cpu for a work machine, no point going single core, unless it's also a gaming machine, for wich single core is still better.Comment

I ran 3dmark benchmark. Then I compared my stats with other stats. I filtered results so that only PCs with Geforce 6600 GT card would be shown, and AMD Athlon 64 was on top for a few pages. Looks, like it's more gamer PC than Pentium.Originally posted by JarmuschComment

Ok my bad, but it's still not 3.0ghz.Originally posted by Silent_Thunderdamn it, why did I write XP?

AMD is a poor man's P4.Comment

It's true, amd has the edge on games. But don't go trusting the 3dmark comparisons, most guys there are overclocked to death.Originally posted by Silent_Thunder

You're joking right? You can't compare a P4 and an AMD 64 by Ghz. That is like comparing cars by how big the gas tank is.
And second, AMD doesn't make a 3.0Ghz chip. The 64 and X2 goes as high as 2.40, and the FX range from 2.40-2.80.

And for the record AMD > Intel and day of the week.

Which processor would be better for doing graphic design work? I know alot will depend on the graphics card, but on shear processor power alone, what would you go with?

For design work i'd go with the Pentiums.Originally posted by NickPapageorgioComment

For the same price AMD CPU will outperform Intel CPU, and that's for any application, not just games like some have suggested here...Custom Software Development, email: woj#at#wojfun#.#com to discuss details or skype: wojl2000 or gchat: wojfun or telegram: wojl2000

It all depends what you want to do with it.
If I wanted a gaming station, I'd use an AMD cpu...
but for a video edition / workstation, I'l go toward P4s ;)Originally posted by rayadp05Comment

Doesnt matter how you look at it AMD may not have 3.0 ghz systems but they are far better then the p4 if your going for a desktop Athlon 64 bit 3000+ very nice and is way faster then the p4 3.0 on a server duel opteron smokes a duel xeon any dayE-mail marketing - Automation Scripting - IP Space

My desktop is P4 3.2ghz my laptop is AMD 3000+ 64 1.8ghz. Ofcourse P4 3.2 is faster but I find 1.8 ghz AMD is faster than my old desktop P4 1.8 ghz.. it's more like it'd be P4's 2.4 ghz equivalent. Obviously AMD's 64 beats P4's 32 with equi speed anytimeOriginally posted by woj

I've been using AMD's in most of my PC's. Very pleased with Athlon performance.

personally, I've always been an Intel guy. I've had AMD before, didn't like the "feel" of it, if you can grasp what I'm trying to say.Comment

i have a p4 3ghz works fine for me...

I can't.. you tried to "feel" up a fucking processor too? human flesh doesn't do it for you anymore huh?Originally posted by Equinox

athlon is good but if you compare the processor AMD64 3000 vs. pentium 4 3Ghz.
i dont know why its called 3000... its only 2Ghz(cause im using it right now) compare to P4 who is 3Ghz. P4.3 is still superior...Email: [email protected] | Skype: ross.alcazarComment

I was saying it's wrong to call the athlon 3000 a 3.0GHz chip.Originally posted by devnull
The clock speed of the xp3000+ is 2.16GHz.
The clock speed of the 64 3000+ is 2.0GHz.
So STFU n00b.Comment

Athlon any day of the week, and twice on Sunday.
I've had them both at one point between work (when I wasn't doing this fulltime), and home. Even when work would have a faster chipset, the Pentiums simply did not perform as well.
As for home, I do a lot of things on the different computers from gaming, video processing, and about anything you can imagine. For all home PC's I prefer, and have had AMD's for all computers for past 8 years. Most recent CPU's a Athlon 64, and it's blazing compared to older AMD 3200.
I say AMD is just a better all around chip IMHO.

The reason Intel's outperform AMD's when is comes to work is the higher processor L1/L2/L3 cache's, but AMD's excel in FSB speed hence the better gaming. It's bang for buck when you're <$200 but when you go into the higher priced processors Intel is better bang for buck.Originally posted by woj
I prefer using AMD for gaming, but work I will use Intel and always will... until AMD bring up their cache's.

And everytime a person brings this up, it's because he doesn't understand WHY it is like that.Originally posted by Jarmusch/dev/nullComment

AMD is my choice of CPU.
I have the 64 3000+ and it was totally worth the money.Comment

The question noone seems to have asked here is, what OS? If it is Windows either should be ok. Even tho the AMD 64 has better memory management and is better for server's. If it is Linux I would only go with a AMD64. That way you can run full 64bit linux. You will notice a difference there. Especially if it is hosting.
And for those that compare Mhz stick with cropping your TGP images.
