hi there!
i asked myself the same question about cpu's. which one is better for rendering? amd or intel.
after a lot of research im still pretty confused. that may be caused by the fact that u cant trust the production houses about stats on their cpu's.
for example: http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_118_756_809^2003~10653,00.html
in this test(softimage xsi benchmarks), the 2GHz pentium4 is about 29 percent slower than the athlon mp 2100(which runs at only 1,733GHz).
so here is my question to u: how can this be? how can the slower cpu beat the faster one??? they come to the same stats when testing the athlon xp 2200 and pentium4 2.4MHz.
so whats wrong here. are all the stats they tell us crap? who should we believe now?
i dont want to buy an amd and overclock it to its maximum. i just want to plug that cpu in and have smooth realtime preview/rendertimes.
so... could anybody please tell me where to find benchmarks i can believe in or why the slower clocked amd's are faster than the pentiums.
thx in advance, im looking forward to some interesting posts.
