I assume your basing this finding on the speed of a P4 with the same clock speed since the 3Ghz P4 with HyperThreading is out and it whoops every amd, sorry matey

My how things can change in just a few months...
<br>I am the proud owner of an AMD XP2100+ T-Bred "B" which is presently OC'd to 2.4Ghz and yes it did whoop any P4 you all were mentioning...until now. I also now own an Intel P4 2.4Ghz "C" with an 800Mhz FSB. Matched up with a good Canterwood chipset motherboard it will own all. It will be able to OC to about 3.6 Ghz on air. Before we said GHz isn't everything....but with the new Hyperthreading and quadpumped FSB which should reach about 1100Mhz FSB when OC'd AMD won't be able to keep up....until they release the 64 bits chips....but that remains to be seen.

this comment is to Angren. I have an Xp2100 clocked at 2.2 ghz with a gig of DDR on an MSI KT4VL MoBo and it whoops ass on my bro-in-laws 2.4 ghz P4 piece of crud ! Its all about AMD chips!.....Yeah the specs on the 2100 say 1.73ghz....but it will clock up to 2.4! oh yeah...also my chip is still running at 89 degrees.... overclocked !!

Intel are expensive in comparison to Amd, if you could really see the price/performance difference it would not be so bad; the truth is you can't. My XP 2.2 thrashes the P4 2.5 gig cpu, more to the point it came in at well under half the cost of the intel chip. I personally think there can be no justification for owning Intel processors when AMD have totally nailed down the price/performance sector. I know overclocking the processors via the FSB is not as efficient as unlocking it, has anyone actually successfully unlocked a P4 for multiplyer manipulation ?; thought not!.
<br>
<br>The point is you really do get more for your money with AMD equipment, there is the option for unlocking and price/performance wise the AMD chips rule. An N force motherboard and a 2.8 gig XP chip would nail a 3 gig P4 system any day of the week, the added bonus of it costing about half as much. Rather than buy a P4 chip from your local "Stand and deliver!" Intel dealer, get an XP chip; I guarantee you won't regret it !!.

The Intel 3Ghz is a vey fast chip, but for the price of the Intel chip you can build a complete xp2100 box with a ti4200, 256DDR, 40Gb. The Intel is great if you really need the power but unless you have money to burn the AMD is a great gaming platfrom that will happily throw the like of unreal tournament 2003 about at 1280x1024. Why not spend the extra on a topline graphics card

I have an XP2100 it is running at 1.9 ghz nicely on a MSI KT400 Ultra MB.. with Geil PC2700 in benchmarks check it againts the 2.2 ghz intel.
Don't forget there is the XP2800 wich i must say blows away the same speed eqevalent intel. You can compare it with the intel 3.06GHZ cpu.. tho AMD's run very hot.. with the right cooling they run great..

The XP2100 ownz everything, though the pentium may run at higher speeds, ghz isn't everything, with the XP2100 running at 1.733ghz and the pentium 4 running at 3ghz there is no question the pentium will win. AMD is good for mhz to the dollar and even if you placed a 2ghz XP2400 with a pentium 4 2ghz, the AMD would whoop it's tiny ass any day!!!! Pentium is just way to damn expensive and there performance blows when it comes down to mhz. If they are running at 3ghz, they should be destroying everything, but AMD is still kicking around.

ummmm, hate to point out mate but the 2100+ only works at 1.73Ghz NOT 2.1Ghz, better luck next time.

yeah but 3ghz isn't the same as 2.1 is it!
