Hi guys i have a question here ....

lets say i have these 2 CPUs, both running at 2.8Ghz ... may i know Which is better?

http://www.techpowerup.com/cpudb/272/Intel...ium_4_2.8C.html
coz from wat i think ... the 478 has better FSB and running HT but doenst has SSE3 ...

http://www.techpowerup.com/cpudb/440/Intel...tium_4_511.html
the 775 has lower FSB but has SSE3, and bigger cache (L1 and L2) ...

so ... who wins?

thanks!

In both of this,i would say the proc running in HT is better in term of performance.SSE3 is using in some encoding work in movie only.

Assuming both using the same RAM, same harddisk, chipset and other else, I say the 2.8C wins. Prescott core has deeper pipeline compared to Northwood, so for clock-to-clock Northwood wins

^- okie thanks for all the info

but deeper pipeline? hmm clock-to-clock? mind telling me wats that in brief?

thanks

to be honest both suxs

Is this a way to give a comment or help to the thread starter?I know you are rich enough to get decent new cores. I'm still left behind will old old P4 but i think they are enough for my usage.Please don't insult people here.

Dont flame my fren.. See his join date.. Just a rookie. But anyways, best_haiyod next time when u wanna reply something, brain before ur hand. Here is a place to discuss yet not to insult.

@TS

Yea. I agreed with Najmods words. If compare on stock speed, clock to clock northwood or the P4 proc ends with C will be better then Prescott which end with E. But in term of overclocking, Prescott core will shine when running on high FSB.

Its a technical detail really, on how CPU works, deeper pipeline has the benefits, you can ramp the clock speed more but if the something 'broken' within the pipeline, the entire thing needs to be flushed and start anew. So the 20 stage Northwood is faster to recover from this compared to 31 stage Prescott.

If you want to understand Pentium 4 architecture, or more specifically NetBurst microarchitecture read here (I actually read the whole lot two years ago):

Prescott vs Northwood:
http://xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/prescott.html

If you start to go of the technical detail then just go with the Northwood, its cooler and less power hungry than the Prescott

EDIT: Spelling error, adding Prescott vs. Northwood

Oh sorry i don't know it is your fren.Anyway he shouldn't say that.

@Ray

Owh.. No noo.. Gosh! Typo error! Haha.. I actually point the "my fren" to u ray. Not the rookie! Getting off topic..

@TS

Are u getting ya self an old system? If then, ur welcome to join the S478 club! Learn from old school..
