AN ARTICLE earlier today where we questioned by AMD switched hyperthreading off when it compared a Pentium 4 to its newly fledged 3200+ Athlon XP has been answered by the firm.


And the answer is somewhat surprising.

Damon Muzny, a representative for the product review department of AMD Public Relations, said that the Pentium 4 performed better with hyperthreading switched off than when it was turned on. That's with the Canterwood motherboard. He said: "That's why we have our benchmarks normalised to an HT disabled platform". He said that AMD had chosen the best platform and configuration it had available to test the Pentium 4 against its 3200+ processors at ... more

The Intel Developer forum 2003 is in the full course and we had today the opportunity first of memory bench mark on a system with Intels coming Springdale chip set (i865) with dual Channel DDR400 support to accomplish. As processor a Pentium 4 with 3 GHz and FSB800 was used.
In this connection we raised also Intels new Overclocking features to the course come to let and have the Frontside bus by 4 per cent in relation to the default value of 800 MHz to a clock of 832 MHz. Here the following result resulted:
