Re: [Dev-C++] AMD ATHLON v PENTIUM 4

[Jason H. <jas...@bt...>]

My previous statement is right and is based upon an article at:
http://news.zdnet.co.uk/story/0,,t269-s2107677,00.html
Where it says:

"AMD launched its "True Performance Initiative" with the Athlon XP processor last autumn, in order
to shift consumers away from the perception that a chip with a faster clock speed offers better
performance. Athlon XP chips come with a model number that indicates their performance relative to
older Athlon chips, so that the Athlon XP 2000+ (at 1.67GHz) would offer roughly the same
performance as an earlier Athlon clocking 2,000MHz (2GHz). Intel and its allies claim the model
numbers are designed to invite comparison with Pentium 4 chips of a similar clock speed."

Actually it is of the equivallent Intel CPU. Nothing to do with the
previous core.
