IN a word - NO. These days, CPU speed in GHz is just one factor among several. Comparing processors is more difficult than ever, and that's exactly what AMD and Intel want.
Rules of thumb: Same money: AMD is faster Same GHz: AMD is faster Among products of the same generation and GHz rating... Celeron is slower than Pentium Duron/Sempron is slower than Athlon/Turion Final word? Google for benchmarks and hope the comparison test you find is working both of your choices Carl -----Original Message----- From: Windows Home/SOHO [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of steven Sent: Sunday, March 12, 2006 6:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: which one is better and faster? Can someone clue me in as to the order of speed and quality with AMD cpu's. Many laptops which use them only list the cpu and not much else. Intel lists the speed of the processor, why doesn't AMD? Does speed make for a better CPU? -- ---------------------------------------- To Change your email Address for this list, send the following message: CHANGE WIN-HOME your_old_address your_new_address to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note carefully that both old and new addresses are required.
