P4 2.4B-2.4C with 865PE-875P vs AXP 2500+ with nForce2

CPU by Zroc @ 2003-05-12

With the newly released Springdale (865PE) and Canterwood (875P) motherboards and 800FSB P4?s, intel has taken a huge leap in both stock speed and overclockability. Will this crush the competition - the very affordable nForce2 + Barton combo - or are PAT, Hyperthreading, integrated S-ATA, and Gigabit lan just buzz words?

AMD vs Intel overclock

'You always saved the best for last'...

There's the whole gang again, in their Sunday best.

Truth be told, these are all really strong, but the clear winner is the 875P/800 FSB part. And there's some headroom in there...I got to Windows in the 280's, and could even pass benchmarks. 3250/271 is the best I could say that it was 100% stable, with Hyperthreading on as well. Pretty damn swanky for a stock-Intel heatsink accomplishment.

Now, I'm gonna dive in real deep. I hadn't really seen this out there yet in this kinda of detail, and was always curious, so I did it...enjoy.. ->
