Is a P4 at 2.4GHz of a particular production run with so much L1,L2,L3 cache
on a particular motherboard going to perform equally or lesser than an AMD
Athlon XP 2500 running a 1.83GHz and so on....
I can tell you this:
My P4 2.8GHz w/hyperthreading in my Dell workstation doesn't seem any faster
for FPU than my home PC with a Athlon XP 1800 at ~1.5GHz. For disk access the
Dell seems faster than the home PC. Graphics seem sort of equivalent though I
know they shouldn't be. Responsiveness is about equal between the two
workstations.
