zivan56 Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 Nice, finally an AMD above 2Ghz :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted August 21, 2002 Author Share Posted August 21, 2002 yeah, and the performance lead, interesting to see when the P4 2.8ghz comes out how it stands, probably will not be for long, but then the 2800+ comes out with the 166mhz FSB. Got to love competition, we all win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BxBoy Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 Man, soon we'll be @ 3 GHz.. man, what is the PC world coming to, this speed is rediculous!! :shocked: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gup20 Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 Well it took like 15 years to go from 286 to 1GHz... according to Moore's law we should be at 10GHz within the next 2 years or so. (moore's law says that CPU's speed doubles every 18 months). All of those systems in those reviews comparing the AMD to the P4 always use dual channel memory systems for the P4, and single channel memory systems for the AMD. Even that up (as with the NForce2 chipset coming out soon) and I bet AMD will pull distinctively in the lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
