Athlon CPU Difference

I would like to know the difference between the Athlon XP 1700 running at 1.4 GH and the Athlon 1400 at 1.4 GH? They appear to run ar 266 and have the same cashe.

 

I don't believe the 1700+ runs at 1.4 but if you divide it by 133, you get 12.78 which is the multiplier. Use this as a comparator to the 1400. The 1800+ is roughly the equivalent of the 1400 TBird 266. There were also some 200mhz (100x2) 1400's. The Thoroughbreds run at a different core voltage than Palamino's or Tbirds and you get into a 13 micron vs 18 micron chip, along with different bridges. Now if that isn't enough, you've also got different cores, depending on product manufacturing dates and each chip's evolution. Then you've got the whole MP vs XP thing. When you can start talking AGOIA vs AGOGA, suffice it to say, you have a prettty comprehensive handle on the multitude of differences.

What the Heck, they all run circles around Intel.

 

This link below give you the stats and the improvements/differences betweent he XP and Tbird.

XP and Tbird

AMD isn't making the TBirds anymore - so XP is the way to go for AMD processors.

When I replaced my 1.0 GHz board and processor I got and XP1800 (runs at 1533 MHz) and coupled it to a board that uses DDR RAM - Thing breathes fire compared to my TBird system.

Keep in mind that MHz, Cache, FSB are just part of the equation.

As Rockster2U noted, AMD processors meet or beat P4 performance even though the AthlonXPs have slower clock speed and FSB compared to P4s.

Brain Cramp= Time for me to eat some crow. Looking at Iceolated's post with 1700+ running at 1467, the multiplier is 11 in reference to 133 doubled or 5.5 re: 266 as the table in his link indicates. 1600+ is the equivalent of a 1400 T Bird, not the 1800+ I referenced. Must be ageing or something, but really no excuse for this mistake.

Will say most of what I've been building lately fall into the 2100+ to 2400+ range, but have one little 1900+ Palamino AGOGA with closed L1 bridges that's about to go into a KT7a RAID V1.1 and am hoping to get real performance out of it.

Iceolated - you are so right re: small part of the equation.

Lastly, I wasn't even painting in a room with heavy fumes at the time of my brain cramp.
