I had an 830 Pentium D clocked at 3.3Gz and it scored 7700 in 3dmk05 / compared to 13800 with my current AMD at 2.6Ghz with the same graphics cards :eek:

they need to be at 4ghz to get anywhere near decent performance unfortunatly

I managed to get the PD 3Ghz at 4Ghz when booting up on 1 core at 1066bus, then scored 9000 in 3dmk05 which is better than 7700 at 3.3Ghz dualcore.

I think my PD is a little dated compared to the current range of Intels though and shouldn't be used to compare against these.
