ounce for ounce, the A64 is more powerful. That is why people like them. They are workhorses for considerably less cost than Intel processors. They are far more efficient getting much more work done in one cpu cycle than P4's. They run cooler and more efficient. They are 64 bit, your P4 is 32 bit. Dollar for dollar your money is much better spent on an A64. And then you just clock the bejeezus out of it and guess what. . .it's now still as efficient as it was before, much faster, and you paid a LOT less.
