Yes that's True that Intel Pentium D overclocked can easily beat AMD 's Fastest Processor's.

That's amzing even overclocked Intel Pentium D 805 beats AMD FX60 AND X2 4800+ Real Bad.

I was amazed when i saw on tomshardware.com that a $130 processor(pentuim d) from Intel can beat the fastest processor's from AMD so badly.

"After beating fastest AMD now Intel the Pentium D 805 is king of processors Its the fastest processor for desktop PC" said Tomshardware Team.

Its amazing how happy will those people will be who bought this mid end but actually killer processor.

Tomshardware.com overcloked this beast to jaw dropping 4.1 GHz and ran all these beanchmarks to see the actual power this thing have under its hood.They were also able to overclock Pentium D to 4.3 GHz and were able to boot into windows xp but whenever they ran any kind of test it crashed so they used 4.1 GHz.

Thus this shows the overclocking potential of Intels processor isn't bad.

Here is the link for the beanchmarks :-

*www.tomshardware.com/2006/05/10/dual_41_ghz_cores/
_________________

And about Conroe most of u know that conroe processors are beating AMD's fastest Processors.

If don't then read on...

The next-gen processors from Intel are going to be avialable soon.They are really powerfull and some of them have even 4mb L2 cache!!!!.

For more info go to this link:-

*www.tomshardware.com/2006/06/05/first_benchmarks_conroe_vs_fx-62/

Intel core 2 Duo E6700(not the fastest next-gen proc. from intel, or say mid-high end processor,the fastest will be E6800 {not very sure}) beats the amd's fastest Processor AMD FX 62 2.80GHz running on DDR 2 933 MHz SLI and even OVERCLOCKED AMD FX 62 3.0GHz running on DDR2 1016 MHz SLI.

Intel core 2 Duo E6700 2.66Ghz @ DDR2 667 Mhz------------Beats---------- Overclocked AMD FX 62 3.0GHz @ DDR2 1016 MHz SLI.

So this shows intel is really serious about its performance and reputation in both gaming and multitasking.Its not easy for AMD to beat the experienced players.....

You can't compare apples to oranges. Why test a stock FX 60 against an overclocked 805? Either overclock both processors or don't overclock any of them.

Intel is the best any day. But in terms of costs AMD processors are a little cheaper.
So it's value for money - AMD.

u are right but when AMD 64 processors came, everyone compared AMD 64 bit processors to intel 32 bit P4's??Its a big difference!!
D
Jun 22, 2006 at 6:37 PM
But at that time Intel didn't have 64 bit proccy's, so AMD 64 had to be compared against the best that Intel had to offer at that time.

If u check the CONROE E6700 becnhmarks agianst the AMD FX62.The AMD Processor is overcloked so why do they overclock the AMD?

Intel Pentuim D isn't in High end PC lineup they overclocked it to show its potential agianst the high end processors.
D
Jun 22, 2006 at 8:35 PM
I agree with you that even the FX 62 shouldn't be OC'd against Conroe, but i'm not the one running these benchmarks so don't ask me why it's done like that.
Anyways it dosen't take a genius to figure out that Conroe is far better than the best AMD has to offer.

I Think the reason for overclocking is to show how a mid end product can compete with the next-gen product by simple overclocking.It would be very interesting If a overclocked 6800 Ultra can beat a 7800Gtx.Intel Processor did the same thing.

Hey i like thIS quote:

"For die-hard AMD fans this(PENTIUM D 805 PERFORMANCE) will mean a change of sides, and possibly politics. But hey, why not, if the results are worthwhile?"

And i want to add something;


Before AMD came in (i mean acc. to performance) everyone loved Intel but after AMD showed some really good processor's a lot of people changed to AMD because it was better, now Intel's processor is better so why don't change to intel??
We need better hardware no one cares who make it..this is what people said most of times when AMD released a better processor.Now those People will change to Intel and say the same thing agian and agian and agian.....

well im im one of em...i have intel n i liked it a lot...changed it to amd....now i think i ve 2 reconsider....now wat if even amd is overclocked n same test is taken again...

LEts wait for offical release . if its really worth then INTEL would have released it in market to beat AMD .

i think its just a way to attract INTEL products nothing else .

lets wait for AMD to accept there Defeat .

Hey hermit its coming in july!!

These benchmarks are not provided by intel.It was done before everyone and I want to remind everyone that this processor isn't the fastest from Intel.This one is E6700 and the fastest pc from Intel is E6800.

And yes intel E6800 benchmarks already made 2-3 NEW WORLD RECORDS!!!!!

Check this link:-

*www.nordichardware.com/news,4039.html

And these benchmarks are also not provided by intel.

AMD used a meeting with the press and analysts to provide some long-term information about its product strategy. Part of the roadmap is an answer to Intel's flagship processor Core 2 Extreme: AMD will launch a new platform with two sockets for two dual-core processors, handing gamers four physical cores.

keep dreaming .. abt what .. people come out of ur amd dreams .. CONROE ROCKS .. i have known this since march .. just check out this forum ..these guys even have kentsfield ..intel's first quad fore processors.. one of the best in the world if not the best forum.. and then comment abt conroe and amd ..

*www.xtremesystems.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=59

as far as i am concerned i dont think intel will let amd go ahead in performance once again .. they already made this mistake with netburst based pentium 4 .. but with conroe as well as quad core kentsfield .. they are all set to rock .. i personally happy with seeing intel again leading the processor race...

I don't think we shud consider overclocking when we talk bout processor speed, most ppl use their computers without actually overclocking them. Only few overclock their pc. So speed shud be determined in terms of its normal use.

Intel beating AMD?? What Crap! Friends, are you in this world or not? Intel this, Intel that... I've heard a lot of people boast about Intel~ Wanna know my personal experience? INTEL SUCKS!

Intel thought of digging it's Grave when AMD came out with it's Athlon 64 line... Intel started digging it's Grave when AMD came out with it's Athlon X2 Dual Core... I bet Intel would've dugged it's grave when AMD comes out with it's QUAD Core (It's happening already)!

AMD rocks!

Friend, Intel beat AMD's FX60 and X2 4800+ only because they were not overclocked~ Wanna play with one overclocked X2 4800+??

Well well, still the over-clocked Intel's X6800 Core 2 Extreme came only close to 5046 Mhz... Don't you know there's already a not-over-clocked AMD X2 5000+ and FX-62 out there in the market??

Georgy_Can said:

I agree with you on that @ Georgy_Can. But I think we should also consider the situations that had to be created for this Intel processor to be over-clocked to that extent so that it won't burn! You must consider the temperature issues... I stress this because these were the test machine specifications:

Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 @ 5040MHz (11x458MHz, 1.73v)
Mousepot LN2 cooling -125°C (Coldbugg at -128°C)
ASUS P5W HD Deluxe (i975X)
Corsair XMS2-PC8000UL 458MHz 4-3-2-1 1:1 (2.8v)
OCZ 600W

WAKE UP Friends!

@Martin

I think u are confused.
In case of Conroe vs. FX-62
*www.tomshardware.com/2006/06/05/first_benchmarks_conroe_vs_fx-62/

Conroe processor ids not overclocked instead AMD FX-62 is overclocked.

But in case of Pentuim D,Yes it is overcloked because its not a high end processor.It is compared to FX60 and X2 4800 at stock core clock coz those are the top processor's from AMD.So they don't need to overclock the processor to compare it to a mid-end intel cpu.

And yes man,These tests were done by Tomshardware.com geeks and their website is considered the best in hardware tech sites.

About X6800 I am not sure if its overclocked or what?Can u give me the link so that i can check what the hell this is all about.

Hey I am not sure where U checked the Hardware review of Intel X6800
But this is the official hardware test between intel X6800 @ stock vs. AMD fx-62.

You can hardly overclock a graphic card that much, very few cards can be overclocked too much and none can be overclocked to the extent of a 6800ultra beating a 7800GTX.

You will need to invest more money in the card. PERIOD
