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?

Raw FSB scaling...

Here we have simply a 50% FSB gain...clockspeeds for both are the same.

Quite interesting, no? The Athlon gains a higher benefit from raw FSB gains. A fair guess would be because AMD's FSB is dual date rate, versus the P4's being double that (quad data rate). In any event, they both like FSB, and it's more important to the Athlon.

Once more into the fire...
