I was wondering which one you folks think is faster of the following?
Intel P4 524(EM64T) 3.06G on an MSI PM8M3-V motherboard
or
AMD Sempron64 2800+ 1.6G overclocked to 2.4G on an Asus K8N motherboard.
Same 2x512M ddr400, same video card, same harddrives with same OS,etc.
I did a radar timedemo benchmark(which I found on the internet somewhere) in Enemy Territory which is CPU intensive and was rather surprised at the outcome.
The P4 averaged 63.2 FPS.
The Sempron averaged 89.9 FPS.
This was on Linux Mint 2.1 which is a modified Ubuntu 6.10 distro.
I had a feeling the Sempron would beat it since it feels faster in everyday use but the numbers qualify the feeling.
I have been trying to decide which to use as my main system and the Sempron has won out. Both systems are in the other thread on hardware.
I could never find a proper benchmark for the P4 524 and it seems nobody ever compares the Sempron to anything other than Celeron.
It would be nice to see a benchmark table of some standard benchmarks for a range of CPU's from Sempron to X2 and Celeron to Core 2 Duo.
Not everyone needs to have the latest and great CPU's for most everyday work and this kind of table would help average folks make buying decisions.
