Im having a bit of an arguement with a mate right now, about Processors and Im just not getting things through!
First off, I was saying how the new Core CPU are vastly superior to the older Pentium cores even with a much lower clock and he was argueing that one out for days until I actually got a couple of CPUs in teh same machine FFS to run tests on one CPU and then the very same tests when we used the other CPU.
And even then he was tryign to make up some shabby excuse.
Anyway, now we are argueing over a Celeron vs Pentium.
He says they are the same speed and I am saying that while they are the same speed for basic functions, the bigger cache plays a huge role when it comes to things like multiple Apps and choping and changing from say, Office and Emails and some other Apps, the celeron will start to struggle while the P4 of the same clock speed will chug through it better.
Again we are arguing over and over and so I have given up!
I am therefore wondering if there is some banchmark that we can do, that will highlight the differences between a Celeron and a Pentium, because we know that given a choice, what would you chose? Lets be honest no one in their right mind gets a celeron and why is that? I need a benchmark app that will show me.
Thanks.
