I love P4 not Celeron's though just Intel Pentium 4 because they are reliable and tested.

So are AMDs.


Have you ever tried an AMD?

I was wondering if they performed the same and if they do, why the difference in GHz "numbering"?

Don't pay too much attention to GHz ratings: they don't reveal the true performance of the hardware. The AMD numbering system is rooted at 1400, which is equivalent to an original Athlon running 1.4GHz. So, an AMD Athlon64 3800+ running at 2.4GHz performs comparably to an original Athlon running at 3.8GHz (in theory).

Anyway, for side-by-side tests, Tom's Hardware Guide
