I think GHZ does sell. How else can you explain anyone actually buying a Pentium 4? If it had the same benches it has at 1.7, at the same Mhz as the P3...who the heck would buy it? Maybe a movie editor.
How about these apples? Toms benchmarks not good enough?

Jim, I read Tom's article on the overclocked Tualatin chip, some comments:
He's concerned for Intel that the Tualatin at 1.419 GHz will show up the P4. However, the Tu was overclocked and the P4 wasn't. Also, P4 still beats both the Tu and Athlon anyway. I counted 4 first places for the P4, 2 for Tualatin and 1 for the Athlon. Tom must be cherrypicking benchmarks, the droids will say. Also, Tualatin is slated for notebooks and small servers AFAIK, not desktop. 1.5 volts, pretty good, although it sounds like he ran it at 1.6 for the benchmarks. Hey, I'd rather have two very competitive processors than see the enemy have two. |
