Processor equivalent

Former Member

by that i mean this for instance : My pc processor is an amn athlon xp 1700= which is roughly equivalent to a 1.47ghz.

What im wanting to know is how is that differance worked out from 1700= or whatever it might be across to 1.47 ghz or whatever that might be.

Im so not wording this right so my apologies if you dont understand what im trying to ask

There's this, but it might not be accurate

http://www.csgnetwork.com/amdprocspeedcalc.html

And there's a list here

And there's one on AMD's site but I can't find it just now.

the first site doesnt appear to work really.

I put "2800" and it came back with "2200" when my proc runs at 2100 because it's a barton core :-\

yes, I have a feeling it's not quite exact.

No. An XP 1700+ has the same computational power as an orignal AMD Athlon running at 1700MHz, despite the fact the the XP1700+ runs at only 1470MHz.
