Seriously? You're more than 100 Mhz higher than my 4000, yet you score more than 100 points lower? What speed is your RAM running at?Originally posted by: Kroffty
single Core fx-55 @2968mhz

That's better, but you should score higher than that, I would think. Run your system at 12 (cpu multiplier) x 247 (HTT bus)= 2964 Mhz; your score will be higher, and so will your overall system performance. Oh, you'll need to set your RAM divider to 1:1 (200 Mhz, or 400 DDR, or whatever your motherboard calls it). Oh, and don't forget to change your HT or LDT multiplier to 4x, and put your RAM timings back to where they were before you changed them.Originally posted by: Kroffty

So much for the superiority of the C2D over the A64. It seems that AMD's price/performance is very competitive at the low end. I paid $70 for the 2.0Ghz 440, you can get a 2.4Ghz 4000+ for less. C2D is only worth the money if you overclock. At stock speeds, AMD is the p/p winner.Originally posted by: Noema

I'm just saying that with a crippled L2 cache (only 512KB), C2D performance doesn't really scale like it should.Originally posted by: Idontcare
Kinda extreme to state that based merely off of one little-known and somewhat dubious benchmark program you stumbled across on a forum thread...don't ya think?
And the 3600+ has 19% more clockspeed and the E2140 still beat it most applications.Originally posted by: VirtualLarry
XBitLabs showed that an AMD X2 3600+ was comparable to an E2140 (or was it the E2160) in most things,
It's precisely the superiority of the C2D over the A64 that has forced AMD to price their products the way they are. When you don't have the outright performance lead, then you have no choice but to win price/performance. No different than when the situation was reversed and Intel had to price the P-D 820 and 805 at well below the cheapest AMD dual-cores.So much for the superiority of the C2D over the A64.
