I know you can overclock most p4's to 2.13 or 2.4 if you are lucky. My question is how does the speed of that compare to an athlon xp 1700+ that is overclocked. My current system has an epox 8kha+ and an Athlon XP 1700+ (1606mhz @ 146fsb). I need to build a system for my brother and I am unsure which to go with.
My SiSoft Sandra scores are as follows:
Dhrystone ALU 4518 MIPS
Whetstone FPU 2230 MFLOPS
Int ALU/RAM Bandwidth 861 MB/s
Float FPU/RAM Bandwidth 928 MB/s
HardOCP benchmarked a P4 1.6a overclocked to 2.13ghz and got the following:
Dhrystone ALU 4167 MIPS
Whetstone FPU 2669 MFLOPS
