With the new 3.4GHz Pentium 4 Extreme Edition and the 925XE system Intel performance does get closer to the AMD Athlon 64 FX-53 systems performance overall, and in some cases it does enable the 925XE platform to exceed the performance where the 925X didn't previously. However, AMD have since released the FX-55 high end CPU, which will undoubtedly move their performance on somewhat further. Given the results here, the pure gamers are probably still going to be more interested in the AMD platforms performance.

However, the high end Intel platform does still hold a number elements that make stand out from the AMD platform. For starters, the Pentium 4's feature HyperThreading which does improve multitasking and multi-threading cases - this can also be of benefit to gamers that also have other applications running in the background, such as software firewalls. Clearly the Intel's performance under MultiMedia applications is exceptionally good in these tests - something that may be of high consideration if building and HTPC system or purchasing a Windows Media Center system; these low CPU utilisations for media encoding / decoding coupled with Intel's fan controls can result in a very low noise running systems.

With respect to the 1066MHz bus itself, though, we'd like to see more options as presently it's only available on the 925XE platform and the only CPU we are aware of at the moment that supports it is the 3.46GHz P4EE - for it to become popular more CPU options will need to be offered fairly soon. The 925XE platform does also require DDR2 memory modules, which are still fairly costly in comparison to DDR1 memory.

Overall the 1066MHz FSB lifts the performance of the Intel platform by a reasonable degree, without changing many other elements much.

Madril disse:
Alta diferença no farcry :S OMG
ia pode crer...

Nos outros o FX-55 e o P-4 EE 3.46, este ganhou por pouca vantagem, nas no far cry, fdz foi pulverizado :eek: :wow:

A ver se a Intel acorda dos erros que cometeu para a AMD abaixar mais os preços :D
 
O FX-55 também é Very Expensive :007:

CPU's bons são os 3000 e 3200+ 939 0,09, acho que são os melhores em termos de preço/performance - o jé vai para um destes

;)
 
A diferença de preço para com o 3600(800), não compensa esse aumento de performance.

Isto para mim....mas tomara apanhar...essa diferença no farcry acho muito...ainda se fosse com AA e AF e com uma ATI/Nvidia......
 
Na review da b3d fica-se com a impressão que este cpu tem uma performance muito igual ao Fx53.
O controlador de mem parece que vem tweakado para memorias CL3 DDR2.

Acho que o mais interessante é a intel lançar nesta altura um topo de gama que não é baseado no Prescott, mas sim no Gallatin.
 
"So there you have it folks - the 1066MHz FSB does absolutely nothing for performance. The 3.46EE does manage to outperform its 3.4GHz/800MHz FSB predecessor, but the margin of improvement is negligible. "

"We can only wonder what Intel is thinking"

"the move to the 1066MHz FSB we have a platform launch that, in the spirit of the 925X and 915 launches, does virtually nothing for performance. "

"Well, if you were expecting to get some significant performance improvements with the launch of the new Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.46GHz and i925XE Express chipset, then you are probably somewhat disappointed. The transition of the Pentium 4 XE CPUs to 1066MHz bus ensures a tiny performance gain, and the clock frequency of the top solution in this family grew up really insignificantly. As a result, everything we have already said about Pentium 4 Extreme Edition CPUs in our previous articles remains valid even after the launch of the new model in the family. "

"Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.46GHz is a crazily expensive CPU (the price at launch was set to $999) with pretty arguable performance advantages. Even the top model in the Pentium 4 Prescott family working at 3.6GHz - Pentium 4 560 – appears faster in quite a few applications. In fact, Pentium 4 XE boasts noticeable performance benefits in games and in computational tasks of various sorts. However, in all the applications where Pentium 4 XE 3.46GHz does outperform Pentium 4 560, AMD’s Athlon 64 FX-55 solution still turns out faster. This way we will not be able to claim that Intel’s newcomer would be a successful choice for this type of tasks. "

"The Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.46GHz will list for $999. Our range of benchmarks shows that it's a marginally better performer than its predecessor, the 3.4GHz XE with an 800MHz bus. In many cases, the fastest Pentium 4 of all is the P4 560 3.6GHz, which sells for well under half the price of the Extreme Edition 3.4GHz. And the undisputed overall performance king of the x86 CPU world is the Athlon 64 FX-55, which sells for an also-ridiculous-but-comparatively-cheaper $827.

In short, I don't recommend buying this CPU. I'm pleased to see Intel going to extraordinary lengths to push the boundaries of performance at the high end of its desktop CPU line up. That is a very cool, very welcome development. Still, this processor isn't a good deal by any stretch of the imagination, and it doesn't really live up to its billing as the most "extreme performance" desktop CPU, especially for gaming. There's really no way around that."

This 3.46EE and 925XE launch can be summed up rather quickly, and I think Intel knows that they are not going to get a lot of kind press today.

Then again, maybe they are launching at noon on Sunday here in North America during NFL football season to get more attention? And on Halloween? I think Intel has put this launch where they think it can do the least amount of damage by actually being noticed.

Intel’s new Pentium 4 3.46 Extreme Edition processor touting its 1066MHz FSB and supporting 925XE chipset bring nothing new to the table in terms of real-world performance. Their benefits can only be realized by using benchmarks that are able to recognize incremental gains. Also, as with many processors of late, I am sure some of you are wondering, “Is this a paper launch?” Quite frankly, I don’t know, and I don’t see any real reason to care.

Não é o P4 XE 3.73GHz que vai ter 2MB de cache L2??? Acho que tinha visto isso em algum lado... Se assim for penso que o aumento vai ver mto mais significativo embora tenha dúvidas de será mto mais rápido que um FX-55 ou o que se seguir a ele...
 
Sinceramente, continuo sem perceber porque raio a intel continua a "atirar areia aos olhos" com FSB's mais altos e velocidades em Ghz mais altas... Parece que ainda não perceberam que o caminho a seguir é mesmo o Dothan... Já andavam com a coisa pa frente, ja...
 
Naaa, estes P4 novos, nem com 1066mhz de fsb conseguem ganhar o "reinado" da performance.


Nem com os novos com 2MB de cache L2 vai lá. A Intel precisa de introduzir rápidamente a técnologia do dothan nos Desktop se quer recuperar a sua imagem de processadores de alta performance.
 
Os 2MB são de L3, quando o EE passar para o core do Prescott é que será L2. Talvez aí a situação melhore, talvez não.
Pelo que o anando fala essa passagem só vai acontecer para o ano com o PIV 3.7 EE.

Realmente o unico CPU da Intel k pode dar cartas é o Pentium M mas alterado para desktop.
P4 eXtreme eXpensive edition <-- :fart:
 
Eu vi um A64 4000+, estremamente apetecivel !!!!!

Qual a velocidade dele, e a quanto chegará o bicho aqui a nós? €€€€?

Qualquer dia estou lá.....grandes diferenças nos gamings 8o 8o

O 4000+ funciona a 2.4Ghzs e tem 1Mb de cache. Deve custar alg entre 650€ e 750€ e é socket 939, ou seja, é um FX53 com os multis superiores blokiados.

Model: Athlon 64
Core: Clawhammer
Operating Frequency: 2.4GHz
Cache: L1/64K+64K; L2/ 1MB
Voltage: 1.5V
Process: 0.13Micron

$729.00 na newegg, -$100 k o FX53 e -$150 k o FX55.

Na minha opiniao, eh dar mais importancia ao 3600+ do k ao 4000+. :)
