Content Creation & General Usage Performance
Patterns start to become very clear in our look at Content Creation and General Usage Benchmarks. Here, Intel still maintains a lead in Content Creation, but by much smaller margins than what we have seen in the past. AMD has traditionally outperformed Intel in General Usage tests, and our Athlon64 boards extended that lead further.
Overall, where AMD led before, they lead by a wider margin with Athlon64. Where AMD was behind, Athlon64 has closed much of the gap. Overall, Content Creation and General Usage benchmarks indicate that the Athlon64 with the new 3200+ rating is fairly rated compared to Intel’s 3.2GHz 800FSB Pentium4.

Needs more MHz.... Needs more. Not ready yet to plunk the cash down. Possibly the 3.2 Intel then dump that for the new rev of the FX next year..... since I am never going to be happy with performance even if I just use it for email anyway. Gotta plow through all that spam just a little faster.Cheers and kudos to both Intel and AMD, love the war, love the technologies and even more... love the competition that will shortly lower prices.
