"Advanced Micro Devices' top-end desktop processors are faster than
Intel's for most applications, according to benchmarks from ZDNet
Germany's labs.
In a test, Intel's Pentium 4 560 running at 3.6GHz and the 3.4GHz
Pentium 4 550 failed to outperform alternatives from AMD. The Pentiums,
both with the new Prescott core and 1MB of onboard Level 2 cache, were
pitted against the Athlon 64 3800+ running at 2.4GHz and the 2.2GHz
3500+.
The benchmarks indicated that the Athlon 64 has an advantage in office
and Internet applications, and with 3D games, said Kai Schmerer, the
senior editor who conducted the tests for ZDNet Germany, which is part
of CNET Networks. "
Notice the prejudice in the line "Alternative" processors. Not
'Competing' Processors, or 'Comparable'. But 'Alternative' processors.
