Ryguy.'s Review of Intel Pentium 4 Processor
9th Aug 2002
Overall Rating
- Value for money
- Quality
The Pentium 4 processors are by far the best on the market, they have frontside buses of up to 533mhz to couple with their faster overall speed.
Bad Points
Only if they placed second to someone, which they do not.
General Comments
The Pentium 4 is by far a superior processor, it's basic math. The frontside bus of a P4 is 533mhz, the frontside of an Athlon is 100mhz, so it's easy to see the difference there. Plus P4's are just faster with clockspeed, would you really take a 2.53ghz P4 over an Athlon that won't even If you want to go the Athlon site and read all of their analogies, and ways of hiding the fact that they are behind in the markey go ahead, but math doesn't lie.
On average, people found this review somewhat helpful

The older P4's are not as fast as the AMD's but they are a superior chip in terms of cooling. But since there processes are longer the clock speed severly holds it back until you reach around 2Ghz once you reach that the P4 becomes superior as the process length does'nt matter then and the new 3ghz with Hyper Threading is almost twice as fast couple that with the 1066 ram and it is awesome

The pentium4 is only good over 2.5 ghz. If you benchmark duron1300 and pentium 4 1.7ghz or any celeron. Duron is running away. And how much cost duron and how much Pentium.

The front side bus of an athlon started at 200mhz and is now up to 333. all processors are double pumped.

Intel Pentium 4 670 and Pentium D 820; Another month passes and another couple of processors are released by either Intel or AMD. The last two months have been rather busy on the CPU front.

I must agree with the P4's excellent performance. I have always been a fan of the Celeron processor which i ran at 1.1GHz. I have recently purchased a P4 1.8GHz which is vastly superior. For comparison, my Celeron with GeForce4 made only 70f.p.s in Quake3, my P4 with the same graphics card makes 147f.p.s. 3D Mark 2001SE gives me 4853 points with 1.8GHz, GeForce4 and 128MB DDR.
