Pentium4 3.0ghz VS. Athlon64 3200+

[HiddenStupid]

Pentium4 HT 3.0ghz 630 prescott VS. Athlon64 3200+ winchester 939pin

Which will you choose if you have to choose one?

Pretend both have:
- 160gb HDD 7200rpm 2mb cache
- 1.5gig ram
- x850xt pci-express

Which will perform better in Far Cry (max setting) ?

[mullered07]

id say the athlon 64 :rockout:

is this just hypothetical or???

[DrunkenMafia]

I would go for the athlon as well. I love the 939 series of cpus. imo they were better than intels offerings.... which all changed when c2d came out..

That 630 was a heaps hot cpu as well

Athlon. P4s suck.

Although, try and get a Venice core instead.

[mitsirfishi]

Deffinatly the A64. 630's run cooler than the 5xx series ive got a 550 running 55c idel and nearly 75 loaded still quick at 4ghz

[Dippyskoodlez]

3ghz P4?

I'd rather a P3, thanks.
The 3200+ is prettymuch guaranteed to walk, stomp, run circles around, light on fire, and beat with a golf club, a 3Ghz P4 of any sort.

I went from a 3ghz p4 to a 3200+, which i then overclocked and ran circles around my old p4.

Does that answer your question?

[jocksteeluk]

since far cry was optimised for AMD processors its obvious the AMD chip would win would win this battle.

[KennyT772]

It's optimized for both, the amd is just simply faster thats all.
