Everyone is anti-Intel. But, little do they know... Intel is a tricky one.

hey....i don't think i would mind haveing one of those suckers.... wouldn't mind actually haveing an Intel/AMD/Cyrix,Via computers....

Oh, currently intel owns. Take a 2.4c or a 3.0c and an Abit IC7-G then that's the best rig you can have right about now. Memory bandwidth at about 6000mb/s....... YUM

Sounds impressive..

This does sound impressive, where have you seen this at?

Can anyone accurately estimate what kind of 3dmark01 score that CPU could possible get /w say, a 9800p?

Sharkims · Sep 17, 2003, 11:54 AM

I know I can get up to around 6500 and 19000 with my 3.0c.

This is the looking for extreme gamers and 'benchmarkers', I would assume at least another 500-1000 in 03 and probably break 20k with 01?

is the best P4motherboard IC7-G???? i mean OCing wise

As far as I can tell, Apple was the only maker of CPU's that boasted L3 cache in advertisements. I have only followed INTEL, AMD, and APPLE cpus specs so I don't know the others. But if this helps the performance of the proc over my current system. I would move towards the P4 with that. Later

Just about. I know that ASUS makes a board that comes close to the Abit... but it's one of the best P4 boards on the market.

Necrosis · Sep 17, 2003, 06:09 PM

AMD did make a processor with L3 cache...remember the good ole K6-III?

Hmm...I still think I'd rather have an Operton or A64 over this though.

Reviews gave the Intel P4 (2MB L3 cache) CPUs less than a 2% improvement in performance over their traditional CPUs. It's a waste of money.

Server wise...that thing would probably work best...but for desktop computing... probably not much use for the 3mb cache.....

Another Homo Inside thread, *sigh* will they ever stop.

AMD ownz you Intel girlies.

~~DriveEuro~~ · Sep 17, 2003, 10:23 PM

Eh, the AMD FX owns..... But as far as performance..... the Intel 2.4c or a 3.0c with an i875 chipset board owns.. AMD can't touch a heavily overclock IC7 series board.

~~craig588~~ · Sep 17, 2003, 10:27 PM

I have the same view as Drive here too.

~~DriveEuro~~ · Sep 17, 2003, 10:32 PM

I was pricing the Abit IC7-G and an Intel 2.4c about 2 weeks ago.... Woulda costed me $270...... I didn't think it'd be worth it really....

~~craig588~~ · Sep 17, 2003, 10:34 PM

Whoa, thats just weird. I just did the same thing.....

Starting to scare me.....

Sharkims · Sep 18, 2003, 01:59 AM

I am going to need to see what happens with this chip, because according to Intel it will provide as much of a boost as a gamer machine could 'use'.

I still think right now, the 64bit chip is not worth it, and certainly not needed especialy now when the Prescots come out and P4c's drop in price.
