Hey all,
I'm trying to find some useful reviews comparing CPUs (hopefully a broad
selection, not just the 3 latest out of any given factory) for the average
Linux office-progam desktop user.
Reviews that take the 2 very latest Intel and AMD DualCores and compre them to
each other are pretty much worthless for most people - it's like comparing
apples from different sides of the same tree (or off the same branch).
I don't care how fast a CPU runs 3D programs, Games and Video/Audio encoding.
What runs KDE the fastest when you have all the standard office applications
running (FireFox, OpenOffice, Kontact) and SpamAssassin starts sucking the
life out of your box when Kontact checks for new mail?
Yes, there are plenty of reviews out there, but most of them do not tell me if
the latest Dual-Core 64-bit Whoppie runs Kcalc, emacs or apache faster than
my ailing P4 3.2 Ghz. Most of them focus on gaming, 3D, floating point
intensive Windows applications. I'm not interested in that.
Does anyone have any links or personal experience they'd like to share?
Thanks,
JW
