whats better a 3.4 ghz cpu or a 3.8?

Re: whats better a 3.4 ghz cpu or a 3.8?

While I'm thinking of it, there ARE two similarities of Dothan chips and P4s that do often get confused, though.


A) Dothans evolved into the Yonah core, which was used in Core Solo, Core Duo, Celeron, and Pentium Dual Core (not D). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yonah_%28microprocessor%29

Pentium Ds are simply two hot Netburst chips in one. This is a good read as well, as it basically dissuades anyone from buying a P4 after you make any logical comparisons
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netburst


B) Dothan and Banias Pentium M CPUs used socket 479 in laptop and desktop boards. Pin-wise, it looks nearly like a socket 478, especially the mobile variety, but is a completely different beast.

You can only support the 3.4 if it is has the S spec SL7Z7.

The 3.8 it dosen't matter unless it has 2mb cache, in which case you can only support the SL7Z3.

Banias and Dothan are not Core Architecture.
They are basically P3 Tualatin [P6 Architecture] on a smaller die and so higher clock speeds.
Core Architecture was based on them though.
- And they kick butt on Netburst CPU's.

The first Core Architecture CPU cores were Yonah for mobile and Conroe for desktop.

In other words Banias and Dothan -ARE- Pentium 3 CPUs.
Intel just dropped Pentium 3 'tag' in marketing them.

also, more cache, faster fsp speeds, better speedstep, and SSE2 were added. essentially a heavily modded tualatin. which core was based off of as already mentioned by PCBONEZ.

A cool thing about them is they have some LV versions that only use 7-12 watts.
Using a MODT board those are great for DIY PC based Network appliances like NAS or fully managed routers.

I'm looking for some 7 watt'ers to build a Linux based managed Router/Bridge at the moment.

I wondered that also - then I looked at your signature in post #22

what a fucking mess,
i'm glad i only use AMD

You only use AMD?

INTEL vs AMD FLAME WAR!!!!!!

Oh. - He meant processors.

Re: whats better a 3.4 ghz cpu or a 3.8?

AMD FTW!!!
ok well in truth i like amd better cuz i dont have the funds to blow $150 on a dualcore i3

what else DO they make? their chipset division has been dead for a long time iirc.

maybe ATI... but their stuff does not suck.

Did you hear the roar when it passed overhead?

Re: whats better a 3.4 ghz cpu or a 3.8?

lol amd's chipset division has not been dead. its been reborn with ati chipsets, 700 and 800 series are the only boards you can get for amd platform. and supermicro servers with amd800s chipset are sexy.

lol acute mental deficit, glad its only acute eh? not chronic.
