Intel Vs AMD Athlon 64 Vs Pentium 4 Vs Core 2 Duo Vs Single core

Intel Processors : (Not only are all the most important and which are in Vzla )

* Pentium 4( discontinued, with 533 bus and 800 mhz , 1 or 2 mb of cache , speed up to 3.4 ghz ) (these figures apply to the following)

* Pentium 4 HT ( discontinued, An improvement of the Pentium 4 with hyper threading technology that is like the previous step to dual core)

* Pentium D (dual core, pentium 4 are like two stuck together and working together) * Celeron and Celeron D (Versions less than the Pentium in terms of cache and performance but cheaper )

*The core 2 duo ( New Processor architecture created in 2006, and 1066 bus 800 mhz, from speeds from 1.86 GHz ) than all amd processor (not all)

* Athlon 64 ( Architecture , created in 2004 , with speeds from 1.8 GHz )

* Athlon 64 X2 (similar to the Pentium D) (dual core)

* Sempron (similar to but higher celeron )

* fx amd ( athlon Enhancements 64) ( There are a lot of information that I miss but that's not the purpose of this guide , but guide people who do not know much about it)

now necessary to understand some things :

* Increased speed does not mean better performance or performance as amd processors have speeds lower than intel but perform better on several tasks with enhanced architecture and different from intel almost unchanged since the introduction of the Pentium 4 2001)

* names amd processors are for example " athlon 64 3000 + " does not mean that your speed is 3.0 ghz but pays less than a pentium 4 3.0 ghz , despite having a real speed of 1.8 GHz

* Dual core or dual core allows us to run two or more programs simultaneously smoothly , for example we could be compressing mp3 music while seeing a movie on DVD or playing or any other task , obviously with a single core You can do this but will never be the same speed and performance)

If you want a pc to play especially the choice is clear, amd athlon 64 is superior to the Pentium 4 in every aspect in games, but this situation changed with the core 2 duo earned in all tests, to get an idea of comparison a Core2Duo e6300 (1.86 GHz ) is similar to or greater than amd athlon X2 4000 + ( 2.2 GHz I believe ) so the final choice will decide the price, on the other hand we must not neglect the video card and RAM , and which is the most important factor , even more than the processor is better than a t.video + + enough memory not as fast a processor that otherwise. You on the other hand this means increasing the overclock that processor speed above factory Dela bringing higher performance to win over even more expensive processor , for example to make the Core2Duo e6300 overclock , performance increases and higher compared to models Intel and AMD , this is not difficult but be careful with the heat, it is noteworthy that the Core2Duo operate at lower temperatures allowing them to overclock so superior to other cpu's

If we use the pc for surfing the web , listening to music , watching movies, do office work , burn CDs , play :games, not very complex and demanding other tasks not then it is not ideal spend so much on the processor as much power is not needed for these tasks being able to save for other components of the PC , the choice can be varied depending on prices , so the semprom or celeron d amd are more than sufficient

audio and video editing , Autocad , drawings and maps, general graphic design : In both these cases, intel pentium 4, D Core2Duo perform better than the amd but not by a large margin , ie the yield difference is not big , Memory is key factor

In all mentioned a bit ago : Ideally a Core2Duo that performs best in all tasks and have a longer life ahead, although the amd ( 4200 + and above) are not so far away and as I said earlier the price will be the key factor
