Intel's Pentium 4 3.4GHz Processors Reviewed

Posted by timothy on Monday March 22, 2004 @12:33AM from the boy-are-my-lips-tired dept.

EconolineCrush writes "In one of the most gratuitous benchmarking indulgences I've seen, Tech Report has tested Intel's new Northwood and Prescott Pentium 4 3.4GHz processors against sixteen competitors ranging from the relatively old school Athlon XP to the opulent Pentium 4 Extreme Edition, with plenty of Athlon 64 action thrown in for good measure. Performance is tested in a wide range of applications, including gaming, rendering, image processing, media encoding, speech recognition, and scientific number crunching. Even if you're not interested in Intel's latest Pentium 4s, the review nicely shows where 18 of the fastest desktop chips from AMD and Intel stack up against each other."

look again:
lots of free CPUs means the one you bought is unnecessary. alternatively if software is more efficient, your new high-speed CPU is unnecessarily powerful.
