Before going into the details of Athlon 1200 and annoying you with new centimetric points of reference mark, I 'd like to indicate some things about the situation which we really see on the market of processor. Looking at the marketing of the two companies, the reader of reading the 's comments with the articles of Hundred-processor and the realization of the current market shares makes you the wonder seriously how much uncultivated the average user computer is really. Yes, the buddies, the majority of PC-users seems completely unable to carry out the facts.
The processors of AMD are appreciably less expensive than processors of Intel although they are at least on the par in terms of execution. - FACT
Ouais, my friends, 'makes him of SA! Did you just buy yourselves Pentium III 933 for almost the same money you 'd must very pay Athlon nine 1200 which 'manner of S more quickly? Congratulations!
The processors of AMD are incompatible. - LIE
Not what the type average which has just learned that the expression would know what �incompatible � is, but him of noises the bad one really, doesn 't it? Well, even people which knows that �incompatible � means that wouldn of product the 'work of T surely with other components (which naturally is bad) are wrong if they show AMD 's Athlon or processors of Duron of him. In our laboratories we examine all kinds of platforms of Athlon with all kinds of various components and I can certainly say that I cannot see any difference between the compatibility of the products of AMD and the platforms compared with the same thing of Intel.
Duron is 20-40% faster than Celeron at the same frequency of clock. - FACT
Yes, it is true. There 'reasons of S two of that. One; Duron employs an interface of bus which has a bandwidth three times higher than Celeron 'interface of bus of S. Duron is connected to the system via an interface of 100 megahertz which double-is pumped, whereas Celeron employs only 66 and of simple-pumped megahertz �� interface. Two; the core of Duron is simply more advanced, which makes it still faster while comparing the two processors with the same frequency of bus. Basically, Celeron is not simply any competition with Duron and I hope that even Hundred will discover finally about it.
Quotation of my initial article of Duron: You can see that Duron is much more close to the execution of his/her brothers that Celeron, because AMD uses the same clock of bus for Duron as well as Athlon. Intel employs the little of turn of FSB-limitation to transform people to fall in Megahertz-imprison. The inexperienced users could think that Celeron 700 is right like quickly like Pentium III 700. Both are sold with the same price, but Celeron is appreciably slower.
Chipsets for processors of AMD are lower than the chipsets of Intel. - LIE
Ouais, sure, the ground is punt and the politicians are honest. I always have fun when I see people announcing the message above in groups of news or as a their answer to the articles. How much more time makes the need for Intel to screw to the top their chipsets (i820, the MTH.) to you do the types receive the message? In this moment Intel faces its transfer on the market of tiddlywinks. This has a good reason. Today you can find rather more or less even Via devices inside the 'chipsets of S Ahlon/Duron which you can find at Intel 'the last offers of S. M�me ATA100 was as well included in more late Via the bridge of the south now. Another type wrote something about ACPI. I am sure that it doesn 't know what i.e., but ACPI is near constant Via the chipsets as well and to be honest, which employs ACPI in desktop machines? He 'the S most important for books. Not, you put the 'need for T it �WindowsME and 2000 run �. In my systems ACPI anything is a better interference, since him costs really resources which I am not been willing to share. The result is: there can have been some problems in the first days of the chipsets of Athlon, but they are solved. The incompatibilities are more one problem of the mother chart BIOS that tiddlywinks in this moment. Thus the two manufacturers of tiddlywinks, Intel as well as Via, are really in the same situation.
Pentium III carries out better than Athlon at the same frequency of clock in 3D-ranges. - FACT
Yes, it is correct. The difference isn 't enormous and easily equalized by the price of the two processors, but for example of Pentium III 800EB mark some points higher than SocketA Athlon 800 in Quake3 and unreal tournament. However, as long as you can obtain Athlon synchronized much faster for the same price as Pentium III the advantage is always of AMD on 'side of S. You will see as Athlon 1200 always marks the best total results in any 3D-range, simply because it only must compete with Pentium III 1000.
Athlon exceeds Pentium III in scientific intensive applications and at mobile point. - FACT
This fact is well-known, but it obtains easily forgotten. Athlon 's FPU is higher in manner to the FPU of Pentium III. One expects that even Pentium 4 's FPU can 't compete with Athlon 's. Ainsi each software which requires calculations at mobile point with double precision will run 40-50% more quickly on Athlon than on Pentium III. This difference can 't even be equalized with the frequency of clock.
Athlon requires more power and cooling that Pentium III. - FACT
He 's true and really one of the facts more annoying on Athlon. The dissipation of power of Athlon is indeed much higher than which Pentium III radiates. Thus you need a good radiator, a good food of energy (300-400W) and a case well-ventilated. It is obviously much more important if you overclocking Athlon. Moreover, Athlon/Duron are not fixed against the overheating in a manner that the processors of Intel are. If you assemble the evil of radiator and the doesn of piece of AMD 't obtain its suitable cooling it can die in seconds. AMD has, really secret, plans to incorporate a thermal diode in the matrix in the next revision of the processors. He 's about time indeed; because there 's completely a certain number of people whose Athlon lasted one less than one minute because of a thermal protection absent.
Processors of AMD against processors of Intel - facts and lies, continuous
The processors of AMD have an appreciably lower margin of the frequency of clock than of the processors of Intel. - LIE
This report/ratio was true in the good olds days of AMD of 's K6-line of the processors, but in today him 's really the other manner around. The best example is new Athlon 1200. It employs a tension of only 1.75 V, which is the same tension employed by his/her brothers, Athlon 1000 and Athlon 1100. To employ need for doesn 'of T of overclocking-easily deceived AMD �� to obtain the higher frequencies of clock out of their processors. Intel however tested exactly these well-known overclocking measurements with the release of Pentium III 1.13 gigahertz. Today we know that Intel failed with this product, but even Pentium III 1 gigahertz is �overvoltaged � processor already. Today the margins overclocking of Athlon are manner higher than those of the processors at end high of Pentium III.
The processors of Intel are better for overclockers than processors of AMD. - LIE
I think that this comment is pretty much known to be a lie today. AMD 'processors of S are in fact easier with the overclock, because you can open the multiplier with a simple graphite pencil and then to use a overclocking-chart interesting mother of Athlon such as Asus A7V or Abit KT7. In the event of processor of Duron you can successfully increase the frequency of clock until 40%, in the event of high Athlons at end him 's always at least 5-10%. Intel 'the processors at end high of Pentium III of S gained 'the stand of T a chance to run faster 10% and you the 'VE obtained to take the risk of the bus-frequencies outside-of-Sp�c. Will conceal however are always a good target for overclocking and the increases in the frequency of clock until 33% are certainly possible.
The platforms of AMD are manner more expensive than platforms of Intel. - LIE
This one was true in the first month after the release of AMD of 'socketA-processors of S, but today the Athlon-punt-forms with Via 'tiddlywinks of S KT133 is pretty much in the same scale of price as the comparable platforms of Intel.
the AMD-punt-forms are lower than the platforms of Intel because doesn of AMD 'support RDRAM of T. - LIE
That 'sA the funny one. Recently we contacted Kingston, asking them of the samples of DDR-SDRAM. We were known as that the doesn of Kingston 't really loves us, because we write against RDRAM, which would be the high-speed memory of the future. God bless this, unfortunately the rather bad lady with the current of sale which said to us that, and God bless us not to consult his superiors. RDRAM can be the memory of the future. I cannot say what the future will bring. However, RDRAM is not the memory of the PRESENT! He 's not even memory of the narrow future one or the other. Perhaps is the voyage in space our future also, but that will not encourage you nevertheless to employ a space shuttle to obtain to work the morning, it? AMD cannot simply be taken the sorrow to support RDRAM in this moment. In fact, because AMD it would be close to a suicidal act if it proposed the same policy as Intel, making with RDRAM the only memory for its next processor. Thus leave 's obtain this free space. AMD could support RDRAM if he wanted with, but him 's rather noninsane to constantly ruin its image improvement on the market while obtaining unnecessarily of almost one of the companies most neglected in the broad world of totality, RambusInc.
