New Intel Chipset and Extreme Edition CPU Tested

Posted by timothy on from the smell-of-burning-ndas dept.

Steve writes "Today sees the launch of both a new CPU and chipset from Intel. The CPU takes the form of a 3.46Ghz Pentium 4 Extreme Edition, running at 1066FSB, and the chipset is the i925XE, the first Intel chipset to support this new FSB. HEXUS.net have a review of both. It looks like AMD still have the lead when it comes to performance, despite Intel's attempts to counter the Athlon 64 FX-55." Hack Jandy links to more reviews at AnandTech, HardOCP, and ExtremeTech.

  1. 64 vs. 32 by taylortbb · · Score: -1, Troll

    I noticed that the summary points out how the AMD64 is faster. Well, what were you expecting, its 64bit vs. 32bit.

    If you want a fair comparison then compare the AMD 32bit processors against Intel 32bit processors.

    And compare AMD64s against Intel's 64 bit chips.

    Don't complain Intel is slow when you're tilting the playing field. Its just like Microsoft claiming Windows is cheaper than Linux, only on a tilted playing field.

      How did I just get modded Offtopic?

      This whole discussion is about the performance of CPUs, I make a comment about it and its offtopic. Stupid people with mod points.
