Which Processor is Better

GrandslammerBD · 07-16-2008, 10:27 AM

My old computer processor:
AMD Sempron 3300+ 128K Cache 400MHZ FSB Socket 754
My newer computer:
Northwood Intel Pentium 4 2.66GHZ 512K Cache FSB 533MHZ

Just out of curiosity should my new processor be outperforming my old one by that much. I am talking in the perspective of FPS in games. How much faster is my new one compared to my old one in general?

I was "thinking" out loud that it would be too close to call

Id pick this one personally: Northwood Intel Pentium 4 2.66GHZ 512K Cache FSB 533MHZ

I like the slightly faster fsb but the cashe is much better at 512mb. Making it able to store more info for smoother preformance. The difference in Ghz isnt enough of a difference I think.
